Missouri Electricity Prices

Residential electricity in Missouri averaged 14.01¢ per kilowatt-hour in April 2026. Against a 19.32¢ national average, the state sits 27.5% lower. Prices have risen 8.8% year over year. That rate implies about $1,471 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.
