Utah Electricity Prices

Relatively, yes — 13.12¢ per kilowatt-hour in July 2026, 3rd-cheapest of 51 and 31.9% below the national benchmark.

At Utah's July 2026 average of 13.12¢/kWh, 10,500 kWh of annual use works out to $1,378 a year — around $115 a month. Running the same 10,500 kWh calculation at the July 2026 national benchmark rate gives $2,023 — a $645 gap between the two published averages, less for Utah, not a bill either way.

Over the full EIA series the Utah jurisdiction average has risen 113% since January 2001, from 6.17¢ to 13.12¢ in July 2026 — a compound 3.0% per year. The path has been unusually smooth — Utah is among the steadiest third of jurisdictions month to month.

September 2025, at 14.12¢ per kilowatt-hour. The July 2026 reading of 13.12¢ sits 7.1% below that peak. The lowest monthly average on record was 6.17¢ in January 2001.

August. Measured over the 25 complete calendar years the EIA series covers for Utah, 2001 through 2025, August runs highest relative to its own year and January runs lowest — a swing of roughly 12.1 percentage points.

Among Utah and its land-border neighbours in July 2026, Nevada posts the lowest average at 12.77¢ and Arizona the highest at 15.38¢. Utah ranks 2nd of 5 in the group, at 13.12¢.

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 Utah for July 2026 — a benchmark, never a billed amount. Even the jurisdiction figure is not one number — across the trailing year it moved between 12.88¢ in January 2026 and 14.12¢ 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.
