Why the Utah bill is what it is
A bill is kilowatt-hours multiplied by price, and states reach similar bills by very different routes. Utah's electricity costs 26% less than the U.S. average, and the typical Utah home uses 10% less of it, so the bill lands 34% below the national average. Both work in the same direction: price and usage are each below the national figure.
At today's rate
The 2024 figures are the latest annual numbers EIA has published. Utah's average residential rate has since moved to 13.37¢/kWh (June 2026). At the same 774 kWh a month, that puts the typical bill near $103.51 — 9% higher. That is an estimate: it holds usage at 2024 levels, and usage swings with the weather.
