Electricity prices this month, state by state

Against June 2025, 46 of the 50 states and DC were dearer and 5 cheaper. The largest rises were in Hawaii (+29%), Idaho (+19%), Washington (+15%), New Hampshire (+15%), and Maryland (+13%); the prices that fell were in Connecticut (−11%), Massachusetts (−2.4%), West Virginia (−2.3%), Florida (−1.6%), and Arizona (−0.3%).

One month is a narrow window: a fuel adjustment reset or a mild month can move it on its own. The twelve-month figure on each state’s page, and the guide to longer-run price changes, show the longer run.

A kilowatt-hour’s price is half of a bill; how many a home uses is the other half. In June 2026 the average US household used 930 kWh and paid $171. The largest average bill was in Hawaii, at $254 for 482 kWh at 52.7¢.

3 of the 5 largest bills were in states whose price sat under the US average: Arizona ($219 for 1,445 kWh at 15.2¢), Texas ($209 for 1,309 kWh at 15.9¢), and Alabama ($202 for 1,231 kWh at 16.4¢). Their homes used more electricity that month, not dearer electricity.

The smallest average bill was in Montana: $102 for 677 kWh at 15.1¢. Use moves with the season far more than price does, so a state’s place in this list changes from month to month; its page gives bills month by month.

Every figure here is computed when the site is built, from the records named below, by the same code that fills the state, utility and cost-to-run pages this guide links to. When those records are refreshed, the figures change with them; the words around them do not, which is why no sentence here states a direction the data has not been checked for.

The methodology page sets out what the rate engine assumes and where its figures stop being reliable.
