The states with the cheapest electricity

Average monthly electric bill.

The monthly residential bill. The state figure is EIA’s own state series; the county figure is residential revenue divided by customers for each utility serving the county, then the median across them. Reflects both the local rate and how much electricity households actually use, so a cheap rate in a hot state can still produce a high bill.
