Utah Electricity Prices

Residential electricity in Utah averaged 13.29¢ per kilowatt-hour in April 2026. The state pays less than the country as a whole — 31.2% under the 19.32¢ average. That is 6.3% higher year over year. For a household near the U.S. average of 10,500 kWh a year, that works out to about $1,395 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.
