Californian here; we don’t need AC or central heating, and our nanny-state legislature forced us all to switch to LED bulbs. Take that!

Interesting how Nevada is the lowest next to California, the highest.

My Texas bill looking real nice right about now

Dang so my $160/month July AC bill in NC would be $480 in the Central Valley (trying to pick somewhere with equal heat index)? Bruh

Holy shit, €0.24 is a great price in Ireland, this is so cheap

Poor VA won’t be paying that little for much longer if things keep going the way they do.

The second highest here is not that far from my country(like 2 cents) where the average income is 1.5k per month after tax, good lord

in Slovakia we have the “cost of electricity” and “cost of distribution” where the “cost of electricity” is fixed country-wide and “cost of distribution” is variable depending on the provider, but added to the cost of electricity itself… (e.g. the cost of electricity being 0.09€ but the cost of distribution being 0.07€ bringing the total to 0.16€)
also I’ve frequently heard that americans state prices without taxes…
so even though it may sound like a stupid question for people who never heard of this kind of system, i have to ask:
is this the final price (taxes included) people pay for electricity?

My electricity comes from the California city I live in. I pay 25 cents per Kwh.
I live alone, have gas heat and water, and live along the coast where I don’t need air conditioning, so I only use 140 watts average.

How come it’s so expensive? It’s like double the price I pay for electricity in Sweden.
I pay about 62 öre, or 0,065 dollars per kwh
I assume the US produces their own electricity?
mtbguy1981 on
As someone who closely watches their utility bill, my current rate per kwh is 27 cents in Indiana. Granted the bill says 18 cents, but then they tack on 30-40% in fees, delivery charges.etc. The real rate to me is total bill divided by kwh.

I’m in the SF Bay area. My CHEAPEST rate (at night) is .41 cents, it goes up quickly from there. This map is probably using data 5 years old.

The Dakotas have a bunch of huge coal and hyrdo plants vs a small population. Electricity there has traditionally been cheap enough that a lot of houses use electric heat despite the harsh climate.

Fucking NJ. Bullshit dealing with these prices.

All of them should be sub .05. Power scarcity has been solved problem for 75 years. Nuclear power is both more safe and effective than any other method.
Wraeclast66 on
And i thought we had it bad in canada. Im in one if the most expensive provinces for electricty and its only 12c per kwh when converted to usd lmao

Blue states are really blowing it with their high costs across the board. If you want to make your ideological position attractive to the general public, you just can’t do it by being this much more expensive to live in than the red states. And I say this as someone who is well left of center.

Why is the northeast so expensive compared to most of the other states?
Ballball32123 on
Highly correlated to liberals.

Now do water rates. My water bill is higher than electric bill.
Galacticmetrics on
Average to UK electric price is now 26.35p( 35cents) 🙁
Mister_Speed118 on
As I’m paying 0.27€ per kwh here in Germany, I wonder.
How many kwh do you guys use in the US per month?
(Or how much is your electricity bill per month?)

why does NY have to be expensive? i guess i understand AK & HI (not really), but is it just b/c COL is high in general? or does environment play a part?
CaliTexan22 on
Interesting discussion here about cost of generation vs other system costs.
The price cap for electricity in the UK for October-December 2025 is 26.35pper KWh. Converted to USD that’s $0.34 per KWh, higher than what most Americans pay bar Hawaii.
External_Tomato_2880 on
Does this price include delivery charge?
Fayzee420 on
Tons of these numbers are either very outdated or just completely wrong. Dc does not pay more for electricity than MD.

When I say HVAC costs in Southern California are no joke, it’s because electricity costs more than natural gas. The cost to run HVAC in the desert communities is often more than the cost to heat the home through a Midwest winter. For context, it’s not unusual to see guys talk about $300-400/month bills during the height of summer here. Some months in SoCal might be run above 95F during the day, and above 80F for the low temperature.
