Industrial Electricity Rates by State

The Industrial sector price tracks electricity costs for manufacturing, mining, and other industrial customers, who typically buy at higher voltage and lower unit cost than other sectors. The figure of 8.71¢/kWh as of May 2026 represents what these customers actually paid on average, calculated by dividing total revenue by total sales each month across all 51 jurisdictions covered since January 2001. The national average is weighted by total electricity sales in each state, so states with higher overall consumption influence it more heavily, regardless of what an individual customer there uses. This price is all-in, reflecting energy, delivery, and fixed charges recovered through the bill, making it higher than a supply-only rate a retail supplier might quote. Data come from the U.S. Energy Information Administration's Electric Power Monthly retail-sales dataset and are refreshed monthly with revisions as utilities file corrected information.
