Prices are statewide monthly averages, not a utility quote, an individual bill estimate or a forecast. EIA publishes with a lag after each observation month, and historical values may be revised. Year-over-year change compares the same month one year earlier. The U.S. benchmark is EIA's published national average, not a simple average of state prices. Missing observations are shown as unavailable. ElectriScout is independent and is not affiliated with or endorsed by EIA.
