Oklahoma Electricity Prices
Residential electricity in Oklahoma averaged 14.35¢ per kilowatt-hour in July 2026, and its distance from the national benchmark has been widening. That sits within 3.0% of the jurisdiction's all-time high of 14.79¢, set in September 2025. Since January 2001 the jurisdiction average has risen 120%, from 6.53¢ — a compound 3.1% a year — and month-to-month it has been among the most month-to-month variable third of jurisdictions. Seasonally, September runs dearest against its own year and January cheapest.
What we measure: Average residential retail price of electricity published by the EIA for each reporting jurisdiction, in cents per kilowatt-hour — a state- or DC-wide monthly average, not a personalized utility tariff or the rate any single household pays. EIA publishes jurisdiction-level retail-price data on a lag of roughly two to three months; the latest period shown reflects that lag.

Across the complete calendar years in the series (2001–2025), September is Oklahoma's most expensive month relative to its own year and January its cheapest, a seasonal swing of about 24.8 percentage points. Each month is divided by its own calendar-year mean first, so the long-run price rise is not counted as seasonality. Partial years are excluded, so they are not part of the span named here.
Use Oklahoma's 14.35¢/kWh jurisdiction average as comparison context. It is a public-data benchmark, not a household bill or solar result: a household figure requires documented annual use, address-specific production, same-scope price, utility cash flows, and source-event dates, and this page does not prefill them.

Oklahoma electricity rates — common questions
Is electricity cheap in Oklahoma?
Relatively, yes — 14.35¢ per kilowatt-hour in July 2026, 10th-cheapest of 51 and 25.5% below the national benchmark.
What is the average electricity bill in Oklahoma?
At Oklahoma's July 2026 average of 14.35¢/kWh, 10,500 kWh of annual use works out to $1,507 a year — around $126 a month. Running the same 10,500 kWh calculation at the July 2026 national benchmark rate gives $2,023 — a $516 gap between the two published averages, less for Oklahoma, not a bill either way.
Are electricity rates going up in Oklahoma?
Over the full EIA series the Oklahoma jurisdiction average has risen 120% since January 2001, from 6.53¢ to 14.35¢ in July 2026 — a compound 3.1% per year. Oklahoma is among the most month-to-month variable third of jurisdictions.
When were electricity rates highest in Oklahoma?
September 2025, at 14.79¢ per kilowatt-hour. The July 2026 reading of 14.35¢ sits 3.0% below that peak. The lowest monthly average on record was 5.65¢ in January 2002.
What time of year is electricity most expensive in Oklahoma?
September. Measured over the 25 complete calendar years the EIA series covers for Oklahoma, 2001 through 2025, September runs highest relative to its own year and January runs lowest — a swing of roughly 24.8 percentage points.
Is electricity cheaper in states bordering Oklahoma?
Among Oklahoma and its land-border neighbours in July 2026, Arkansas posts the lowest average at 14.33¢ and Missouri the highest at 16.09¢. Oklahoma ranks 2nd of 5 in the group, at 14.35¢.
Is 14.35¢/kWh the rate I actually pay in Oklahoma?
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 Oklahoma for July 2026 — a benchmark, never a billed amount. Even the jurisdiction figure is not one number — across the trailing year it moved between 12.25¢ in December 2025 and 14.79¢ in September 2025. 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.
