How we calculate this data

Our state-level electricity price figures are based on typical residential consumption (around 4,000–6,000 kWh per year depending on region), published standing and market offers from major retailers, and averaged daily supply charges. We combine usage rates (c/kWh) and fixed daily charges to estimate a typical annual bill. Data is reviewed periodically and may not reflect every plan or the latest changes; for current offers use our comparison tool. Full methodology is explained in our research methodology.
