What this data measures

The year-over-year change in average retail electricity prices by sector and state, expressed as a percentage. This shows how quickly electricity prices are rising or falling relative to the prior year, before adjusting for inflation.

How this data is constructed

Nominal retail electricity prices are sourced from the EIA Form EIA-861 survey. The annual percentage change is computed for each state, sector, and year by comparing the nominal price to the previous year's nominal price.
