Vermont Electricity Prices

Vermont's average residential electricity rate stood at 24.56¢/kWh in April 2026. The state pays more than the country as a whole — 27.1% above the 19.32¢ average. That is 6.9% higher year over year. That rate implies about $2,579 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.
