Kansas Electricity Prices

Kansas sits mid-pack — 15.27¢ per kilowatt-hour in July 2026, 35th-highest of 51 and 20.7% below the national benchmark.

At Kansas's July 2026 average of 15.27¢/kWh, 10,500 kWh of annual use works out to $1,603 a year — around $134 a month. Running the same 10,500 kWh calculation at the July 2026 national benchmark rate gives $2,022 — a $419 gap between the two published averages, less for Kansas, not a bill either way.

Over the full EIA series the Kansas jurisdiction average has risen 124% since January 2001, from 6.81¢ to 15.27¢ in July 2026 — a compound 3.2% per year. Month-to-month movement has been about typical for a reporting jurisdiction.

April 2026, at 15.78¢ per kilowatt-hour. The July 2026 reading of 15.27¢ sits 3.2% below that peak. The lowest monthly average on record was 6.81¢ in January 2001.

August. Measured over the 25 complete calendar years the EIA series covers for Kansas, 2001 through 2025, August runs highest relative to its own year and January runs lowest — a swing of roughly 15.0 percentage points.

Among Kansas and its land-border neighbours in July 2026, Nebraska posts the lowest average at 13.78¢ and Colorado the highest at 17.00¢. Kansas ranks 3rd of 5 in the group, at 15.27¢.

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 Kansas for July 2026 — a benchmark, never a billed amount. Even the jurisdiction figure is not one number — across the trailing year it moved between 14.29¢ in January 2026 and 15.78¢ in April 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.
