Evidence: Supports the 2023 and 2024 state prices used to calculate the complete 31-state increase ranking.
Prices are annual averages in cents per kilowatthour. The ranking uses percentage growth rather than the absolute cents-per-kWh increase, and both endpoint prices are retained in the data table. A two-year comparison should not be interpreted as a long-run trend.
State prices are drawn from Electric Power Annual 2024. Percentage growth compares each state's final 2024 annual average price with its 2023 value, and only states with a positive change are ranked. Census divisions, the U.S. total and the District of Columbia are excluded. The graphic uses the top 11 states, while the data table retains all 31 eligible states.
Every state uses the same U.S. Energy Information Administration annual release, the same 2023 and 2024 endpoints and one common measurement basis, supporting a like-for-like comparison.
