Ordered by 2024 residential price, highest first. Prices, bills and use are EIA state averages (Forms EIA-861 and EIA-861M); the monthly column is preliminary. SAIDI is EIA's state total of minutes of interruption per customer, including major event days, across utilities reporting under any method. A high price does not imply a high bill: states with mild climates or gas heating use far fewer kilowatthours.
