Alaska Electricity Prices

Residential electricity in Alaska averaged 27.35¢ per kilowatt-hour in April 2026. That runs +41.6% above the 19.32¢ national average. The rate is up 5.4% year over year. At that rate, a typical home using about 10,500 kWh a year would spend roughly $2,872 on electricity — the bill solar is designed to offset.

What we measure: Average residential retail price of electricity published by the EIA for the state, in cents per kilowatt-hour — a statewide monthly average, not a personalized utility tariff or the rate any single household pays. EIA publishes state retail-price data on a lag of roughly two to three months; the latest period shown reflects that lag.
