Here’s What the Average Electricity Bill Costs on the West Coast

Not surprisingly, Hawaii has the highest utilities bills in America. Household bills in the Aloha State average $213 per month, which is over 50% greater than the national average.

The rest of the West Coast, however, has very reasonable rates — Oregon and Washington are way below the national average, based on numbers GOBankingRates pulled from the U.S. Energy Information Administration.

Methodology: For this study, GOBankingRates analyzed electricity costs in each state to find the average costs. Each state was analyzed using U.S. Energy Information Administration’s data on the average monthly power used, average cost per kilowatt hour, number of customers and average monthly bill. The difference in dollar and percent from the national average monthly cost was calculated for each state. The data was broken up by end use, representing residential and commercial customers. All data was collected on and is up to date as of Feb. 19, 2025.
