Indiana Electricity Prices
Homes in Indiana paid an average of 17.90¢ per kilowatt-hour for electricity in April 2026. The state pays less than the country as a whole — 7.3% under the 19.32¢ average. The rate is up 6.0% year over year. A typical 10,500-kWh household would pay around $1,880 a year at this rate, and that spend is the starting point for any solar-payback estimate.
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.
