This chart ranks the 50 US states by commercial electricity price (us cents/kwh) in 2024. Hawaii has the highest value at 38.18 US cents/kWh, ahead of California by 12.64 US cents/kWh.

EIA compiles annual electricity sales and revenue from the EIA-861 family of forms. The average retail price is revenue divided by electricity sold within the selected sector or combined sectors.

EIA notes that utilities may classify commercial and industrial customers using industry codes or usage thresholds in their rate schedules.

These are annual state averages for 2024, not current tariffs or individual price quotes. Customer accounts are not people. Washington, DC, territories and regional totals are excluded. Values are rounded to two decimal places.
