Why the Oklahoma bill is what it is
A bill is kilowatt-hours multiplied by price, and states reach similar bills by very different routes. Oklahoma's electricity costs 26% less than the U.S. average, and the typical Oklahoma home uses 25% more of it, so the bill lands 7% below the national average. Price, not usage, is what drives the Oklahoma bill.
Compare New York: households there pay almost the same bill ($139.53 against $132.05) at a rate 2.0 times Oklahoma's — 24.43¢ against 12.24¢ — because they use 571 kWh a month where Oklahoma homes use 1,079.
At today's rate
The 2024 figures are the latest annual numbers EIA has published. Oklahoma's average residential rate has since moved to 14.33¢/kWh (June 2026). At the same 1,079 kWh a month, that puts the typical bill near $154.64 — 17% higher. That is an estimate: it holds usage at 2024 levels, and usage swings with the weather.
