Why the Kansas bill is what it is
A bill is kilowatt-hours multiplied by price, and states reach similar bills by very different routes. Kansas's electricity costs 14% less than the U.S. average, and the typical Kansas home uses 1% more of it, so the bill lands 13% below the national average. Price, not usage, is what drives the Kansas bill.
Compare Maine: households there pay almost the same bill ($133.60 against $123.90) at a rate 1.7 times Kansas's — 24.29¢ against 14.15¢ — because they use 550 kWh a month where Kansas homes use 876.
At today's rate
The 2024 figures are the latest annual numbers EIA has published. Kansas's average residential rate has since moved to 15.71¢/kWh (June 2026). At the same 876 kWh a month, that puts the typical bill near $137.57 — 11% higher. That is an estimate: it holds usage at 2024 levels, and usage swings with the weather.
