Energy Prices by State is an independent educational website. We build free, fast calculators and plain-language reference pages about home energy prices by state: residential electricity rates in cents per kWh, average electric and gas bills, natural gas, propane and heating oil prices from U.S. Energy Information Administration data, retail electricity choice states, heating cost comparison (gas, propane, oil, heat pump), heat pump running cost, BTU and HVAC size calculators.
What we do
- Official prices for every state. Residential electricity rates, average bills and usage from EIA Form 861M (monthly), natural gas prices and use from EIA's Natural Gas Monthly, and weekly heating oil and propane prices from EIA's State Heating Oil and Propane Program, each shown with its month or week.
- Utility-level detail. Prices, usage and customer counts by utility and retail supplier from the EIA-861 annual survey, including how many customers buy from competitive suppliers in choice states.
- Calculators you can check. Bill, kWh, heating cost, heat pump, room BTU and whole-house sizing tools show their formulas and conversion factors; the math is covered by automated tests.
- No selling. We do not sell products, we do not link to sellers, and we do not accept payment for reviews or placements.
