About this ranking

Electricity sold to residential customers (households), in terawatt hours (billion kilowatt hours), as reported by utilities and other retailers to the U.S. Energy Information Administration on Form EIA-861.

Retail sales only: electricity that plants and businesses generate and use themselves (direct use) is not included, so this is lower than total consumption, and it is not the same as electricity_consumption, which EIA publishes for countries. Published in megawatt hours; shown in terawatt hours.

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.
