Georgia Electricity Prices

Georgia sits mid-pack — 16.27¢ per kilowatt-hour in July 2026, 25th-highest of 51 and 15.5% below the national benchmark.

At Georgia's July 2026 average of 16.27¢/kWh, 10,500 kWh of annual use works out to $1,708 a year — around $142 a month. Running the same 10,500 kWh calculation at the July 2026 national benchmark rate gives $2,022 — a $314 gap between the two published averages, less for Georgia, not a bill either way.

Over the full EIA series the Georgia jurisdiction average has risen 141% since January 2001, from 6.75¢ to 16.27¢ in July 2026 — a compound 3.5% per year. Georgia is among the most month-to-month variable third of jurisdictions.

June 2026, at 16.36¢ per kilowatt-hour. The July 2026 reading of 16.27¢ sits 0.6% below that peak. The lowest monthly average on record was 6.42¢ in December 2002.

August. Measured over the 25 complete calendar years the EIA series covers for Georgia, 2001 through 2025, August runs highest relative to its own year and January runs lowest — a swing of roughly 18.3 percentage points.

Among Georgia and its land-border neighbours in July 2026, Tennessee posts the lowest average at 13.71¢ and Alabama the highest at 16.40¢. Georgia ranks 4th of 5 in the group, at 16.27¢.

Almost certainly not exactly, and this is the one caveat that governs every figure on this page. The published value is the EIA residential average across every utility and residential rate class in Georgia for July 2026 — a benchmark, never a billed amount. Even the jurisdiction figure is not one number — across the trailing year it moved between 13.67¢ in December 2025 and 16.36¢ in June 2026. Your own rate depends on your utility, tariff, usage tier, time-of-use schedule, and fixed monthly charges, none of which this index models. Read your bill for the rate that applies to you.
