Electricity Rates -- Just Updated -- EIA -- September, 2025

Locator: 49596ELECTRICITY.

EIA: link here.
 
These are the column headings:
 
There are ten columns: the "odd-numbered" columns are September, 2025; the "even-numbered" columns are a year earlier, September, 2024. 
 

The categories are:
  • residential,
  • commercial,
  • industrial,
  • transportation,
  • all sectors.
Which sector you look at depends on your interest.
 
A challenge. Go to the "all sectors" columns, specifically, this month /year: September, 2025, second column from the right.
 
Scroll down. All states have rates in the two-digit "range": e.g., 18 cents / kWh to 30 cents kWh.
 
Which state(s) have an "all-sector" rate below two digits? 
  • North Dakota. 8.54 cents.
  • Louisiana. 9.37 cents.
  • Wyoming: 9.88 cents.
Wow.
 
30 cents and above:
  • California
  • Hawaii 

Industrial:

  • North Dakota: 7.7 cents (even less than the "all sectors" cost
  • California 25.5 cents 
  • only a handful of states, and mostly in the northeast, have a rate greater than 10.0 cents
