Electricity rates by state, April, 2024, link here. 

Electricity bill, north Texas. Household energy: only electricity, no natural gas. Utility says their electricity is 100% renewable. 

My rate runs about 15.6 cents per kWh, slightly higher than the "advertised" 14.25 cents, up slightly from 14.11 cents one year ago.

You can see that it's actually been cooler this year, but I made a conscious decision not to worry about electricity this summer. And you can see the difference. We're using a lot more energy: a/c and dryer.
