Each year, the Chamber compiles data on electricity prices across the nation to illustrate the varying rates of electricity. Typically, the Northeast and West Coast are at the high end of the pricing spectrum while the middle of the country enjoys lower rates.
The 2023 version of our electricity price map again utilizes the streamlined “heat-map” theme we unveiled in recent years. This shading format readily identifies the states with lower electricity prices while highlighting those where residents are paying more to power their homes and run their businesses. Our printable state price page groups all fifty states and the District of Columbia according to their respective price ranges. The states with competitive (i.e. lower) retail electricity prices are grouped toward the left, while the states where individuals and businesses are more likely struggling to pay their power bills appear toward the right.
