It’s no secret that home energy costs in the US have steadily increased over the years. We are still relying on fossil fuels to power the majority of our energy needs, and as long as this continues, we are bound to the uncertainty and price fluctuations of the world fossil fuel markets.
Energy costs: the facts
- Average price for electricity in the U.S. has increased by 32% over the past decade!
- Energy prices continue to steadily increase for homeowners
- The current average cost of electricity across the country is 10.54 cents per kilowatt hour – the price will range greatly depending on what state you live in.
Regional Energy Costs
Energy prices vary across the United States, so the total amount spent on energy in different regions varies heavily. States that need to use more power to heat or cool their homes have the highest consumption rates per capita; however, this doesn’t necessarily mean that they pay the most overall for electricity.
This means that savings can vary significantly depending on location, but there are plenty of pros of solar energy no matter the state.
The map below shows the average cost of energy in each state in the US.
One of the benefits of solar energy is that it’s a great way to insulate your home from unpredictable increases in the cost of electricity. With many fixed-payment options that have a predictable annual increase, you can lock in your electricity costs and solar savings for years to come.
