Notes on the data
- Rates are averages. A state's residential rate is total residential revenue divided by kWh sold, so it includes fixed charges spread across usage. Your utility's rate may be higher or lower.
- Monthly figures move. Rates change month to month; the CSV always carries the month it comes from.
- Degree-days are a measure of how much heating or cooling a climate needs: each day's average temperature below (heating) or above (cooling) 65 °F, added up over a year.
Journalists: we update this table when EIA publishes a new month. For a state-specific version, email [email protected].
