Arizona Electricity Prices

Homes in Arizona paid an average of 15.48¢ per kilowatt-hour for electricity in April 2026. That runs 19.9% below the 19.32¢ national average. The rate is down 1.2% year over year. That rate implies about $1,625 a year for an average 10,500-kWh home — the higher it climbs, the faster solar pays back.

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.
