About this ranking
Average retail price of electricity sold to industrial customers (manufacturing, mining and other large users) in the year, in US cents per kilowatt hour: utility revenue divided by kilowatt hours sold, as reported to the U.S. Energy Information Administration.
United States and its states only. Industrial customers buy large volumes, often at higher voltage, so they pay less per kilowatt hour than homes and businesses.
Every value in the ranking comes from the same publisher and the same period, so the states are compared on one definition. Equal values share a rank.
