Wyoming Electricity Prices

Wyoming's residential electricity rate was 14.80¢/kWh in May 2026, positioning the state 38th among the 50 states and DC when ranked from most to least expensive. This rate runs 3.64¢/kWh below the national average of 18.44¢/kWh, a difference of 19.8%. Among bordering states, Wyoming's price sits in the middle of the range: higher than Idaho at 12.35¢/kWh and Utah at 12.96¢/kWh, but lower than Nebraska at 13.59¢/kWh, Montana at 14.67¢/kWh, South Dakota at 15.73¢/kWh, and Colorado at 16.16¢/kWh.

Over the past five years since May 2021, when the rate was 11.41¢/kWh, Wyoming's residential price has climbed 29.7%. The longer perspective shows steeper growth: since May 2006 the rate has risen 84.1% from 8.04¢/kWh, and since January 2001 it has more than doubled, up 146.3% from 6.01¢/kWh. The current rate remains below the state's record high of 15.11¢/kWh set in October 2025 but far above the record low of 6.01¢/kWh in January 2001. Commercial and industrial rates stand at 9.54¢/kWh and 9.12¢/kWh respectively.

The typical Wyoming household pays $114 per month for 810 kWh of electricity, compared with the national average bill of $155 for 871 kWh monthly. Wyoming's lower consumption and substantially lower rate combine to produce a bill that runs well below the national norm. Residents paying above Wyoming's rate can look to the state's commercial sector at 9.54¢/kWh or industrial consumers at 9.12¢/kWh for comparison points elsewhere in the market.
