Electricity Rates by ZIP Code
Data through April 2026 (the latest month EIA has published) · Updated July 05, 2026
Enter your ZIP code to find the electric utility (or utilities) serving it and their latest average residential rate and monthly bill, calculated from EIA Form 861-M data. The lookup covers 38,585 U.S. ZIP codes; the U.S. average rate is 18.83¢/kWh and the average bill is $127.71 as of April 2026.
Worked example: ZIP 32026 is served by Florida Power & Light Co, whose residential customers averaged 14.16¢/kWh and a $137.43 monthly bill in April 2026, versus the Florida state average of 15.38¢/kWh. See the utility page for the full trend.
How this lookup works
- ZIP → utility mapping comes from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory's U.S. Electric Utility Companies and Rates: Look-up by Zip Code (2024) dataset (CC BY 4.0). Some ZIP codes are served by more than one utility; we list all of them.
- Rates and bills are our own calculations from EIA Form 861-M (revenue ÷ sales and revenue ÷ customers, residential). They are all-in average effective prices, not tariff prices.
- In states with retail choice, a "Delivery" utility runs the wires while a separate supplier sells the energy; the average shown reflects what that utility's customers paid it, which may not be your total bill.
- Deregulated Texas is the exception. In most of Dallas–Fort Worth, Houston, and other ERCOT retail-choice areas, your price depends on the retail provider you chose, so no single utility average exists; those ZIP codes return no result here. The Texas state average still covers them.
- Utilities too small for EIA's monthly survey appear by name without numbers; their data arrives only in EIA's annual census.
