Nebraska Electricity Prices

In April 2026, the average residential electricity price in Nebraska was 13.28¢/kWh. The state pays less than the country as a whole — 31.3% under the 19.32¢ average. Prices have risen 1.7% year over year. For a household near the U.S. average of 10,500 kWh a year, that works out to about $1,394 annually — which is what a solar array would aim to cut.

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.
