Why the Indiana bill is what it is
A bill is kilowatt-hours multiplied by price, and states reach similar bills by very different routes. Indiana's electricity costs 10% less than the U.S. average, and the typical Indiana home uses 4% more of it, so the bill lands 6% below the national average. Price, not usage, is what drives the Indiana bill.
Compare Alaska: households there pay almost the same bill ($143.54 against $133.06) at a rate 1.7 times Indiana's — 24.82¢ against 14.77¢ — because they use 578 kWh a month where Indiana homes use 901.
At today's rate
The 2024 figures are the latest annual numbers EIA has published. Indiana's average residential rate has since moved to 17.51¢/kWh (June 2026). At the same 901 kWh a month, that puts the typical bill near $157.78 — 19% higher. That is an estimate: it holds usage at 2024 levels, and usage swings with the weather.
