Average price of electricity to ultimate consumers represents the cost per unit of electricity sold and is calculated by dividing electric revenue from ultimate consumers by the corresponding sales of electricity.
The average price of electricity to ultimate consumers reported in this publication by sector represents a weighted average of consumer revenue and sales, and does not equal the per kWh rate charged by the electric power industry participant to the individual consumers.

How the figures were made
The table shows state averages for all residential customers. It does not show what one household pays.
The price is revenue divided by sales. It is not the rate that a utility charges for one kWh. A state with a high price can have a low bill, because the bill depends on the use.
The order is by the price of the year. It is an order of numbers and not a judgement of a state.
The data comes from the EIA state averages in the Form EIA-861M sales and revenue workbook, with the final annual figures for 2025.
A program makes this page from the EIA files with fixed sentence rules. How the site makes the figures. Data sources and licences.
