| Your Electric Bill Is a Policy Choice |
| See which states are getting energy right and which ones are raising costs on families and businesses. |
![Learn why electricity costs vary widely by state.]() |
The U.S. Chamber's Global Energy Institute released an interactive electricity price map, and the numbers tell a clear story: Driven by public policies in several key states, Americans are paying 22% more than five years ago—a national average of 13.63¢/kWh. But the national average doesn't tell the whole story. Where you live determines the hit on your wallet.
By the numbers:
- 🔴 California: 27.63¢/kWh — up 54% in five years
- 🔴 Rhode Island: 25.86¢/kWh — up 39% in five years
- 🔴 Maine: 22.81¢/kWh — up 62% in five years
- 🟢 North Dakota: One of the only states where electricity costs actually fell
Why it matters: For a family watching every dollar, a rising electric bill can’t be ignored. For a small business owner, energy is a core cost of doing business. Every time energy prices climb, margins shrink, hiring gets harder, and growth stalls. High-cost states are making themselves less competitive for the investment and jobs that build strong communities.
What needs to happen: Build transmission lines. Build pipelines. Build generation plants. Cut through the permitting red tape that stalls it for years. States with all-of-the-above energy strategies are holding costs down. Blocking infrastructure passes the bill straight to you. |
