Wyoming Electricity Prices

Wyoming's residential electricity rate stood at 14.43¢/kWh in August 2026, ranking 41st most expensive among the 50 states and DC. This is 20.6% below the national average of 18.16¢/kWh, a difference of 3.73¢/kWh. Among bordering states, Wyoming's rate falls in the middle: it is lower than Colorado at 17.17¢/kWh and Montana at 15.57¢/kWh, but higher than Nebraska at 13.54¢/kWh, Idaho at 13.37¢/kWh, and Utah at 13.31¢/kWh. South Dakota borders Wyoming at 15.15¢/kWh.

Over five years, since August 2021, Wyoming's rate has risen 24.3%, from 11.61¢/kWh. The longer view shows steeper growth: the rate has climbed 76.6% since August 2006, when it was 8.17¢/kWh, and 140.1% since January 2001, when it hit a record low of 6.01¢/kWh. The recent high came in June 2026 at 15.24¢/kWh, just above the current rate. Commercial electricity costs 10.27¢/kWh and industrial rates stand at 8.80¢/kWh.

The average Wyoming household pays $115 per month for 822 kWh of electricity. That is notably lower than the national average bill of $158, though Wyoming residents use slightly less power monthly than the national average of 876 kWh. The combination of a below-average rate and below-average usage results in substantially lower monthly bills than most of the country.
