Average electric bill by state — a practical guide

What affects your bill

• Home size and insulation
• Heating and cooling (especially electric heat or AC)
• Local rates and fees
• Season and number of people in the home

Where to check current averages

For the latest U.S. figures, use the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) sales and revenue tables. Then compare with a bill from your future utility when you can.

We do not invent dollar averages here. Numbers go stale quickly — EIA is the reliable source.
