Methodology

This map ranks all 50 states by the average monthly residential electricity bill, using data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), the federal statistical agency for energy. The figure reflects what a typical household pays per month, which combines the price per kilowatt-hour with how much electricity homes in that state actually use.

That distinction matters: a state can have cheap per-unit rates but high bills because of heavy air-conditioning use (common across the South), while mild-climate states can post lower bills despite higher rates. Hawaii sits at the top largely because nearly all of its electricity is generated from imported fuel. #1 is the highest average bill.

Numbers are EIA's published figures for the stated year; we provide the ranking and presentation, not the underlying data.

Ranks are ordinal (1 = highest by this metric). Ties are broken alphabetically by state name.
