The most expensive states (except Hawaii) for electricity like Massachusetts and New Hampshire have electricity at about 18 cents per kWh. Hawaii has it at about 30 cents per kWh but they're an island so I imagine that complicates things. In most states it ranges from 9 to 14 cents per kWh.

- inferiorhuman 3y agoCalifornia will vary quite a bit. The municipal power companies are quite reasonable (in the Bay Area: Alameda, Palo Alto, Santa Clara?). PG&E (the dominant player in northern california): - lobbied hard against muni power - spent its safety budget on executive compensation - is recouping its maintenance costs and criminal penalties from its ratepayers instead of from its shareholders - got Newsom to stack the regulatory body (CPUC) with PG&E sycophants - is back to paying its shareholders dividends - has one of the most influential California politicians (Willie Brown) on their payroll Yes, it's obscene that in a climate as mild as the Bay Area, $400+ utility bills are the norm. Short of some major revolt, rates are set to go up in March as well.
