electricity rates.
The residential average, the year-over-year change, and a little context for your electric bill.
EIA’s average residential electricity price for Wisconsin, based on reported revenue and electricity sales. This is a state benchmark, not a tariff quote or an estimate of your next bill.
01 / The price
A year apart.
Side by side.
Comparing the same month a year earlier gives a consistent seasonal reference. The customer and utility mix can still change.
In June 2026, Wisconsin’s residential average was 19.56 cents per kWh, compared with 18.52 cents in June 2025. That is 1.04 cents per kWh higher, a 5.6% increase.
Bars share a zero baseline. State and U.S. averages use their respective reported revenue and sales.

02 / The annual picture
What customers
used and paid.
Monthly averages from the 2024 annual residential data. This period is separate from the monthly price comparison above.
- Average monthly electricity use
- 645 kWh
- Average monthly electric bill
- $110.87
| Measure | Wisconsin | United States |
|---|---|---|
| Average monthly use | 645 kWh | 863 kWh |
| Average monthly bill | $110.87 | $142.26 |
| Average residential price | 17.18 ¢/kWh | 16.48 ¢/kWh |
| Residential customers | 2,843,874 | 143,144,185 |
In 2024, Wisconsin residential customers used an average of 645 kWh per month and had an average monthly bill of $110.87. EIA reported 2,843,874 residential customers in the state.
These are averages across residential accounts, not the median household’s bill. Differences in electricity use mean that a lower average price does not always come with a lower average bill. Do not multiply the June 2026 price by 2024 use and treat the result as EIA’s reported bill.
Source: EIA annual residential sales and revenue data, released October 7, 2025. Published values are rounded, so multiplying the displayed average use and price may not exactly reproduce the displayed bill.
03 / Your own bill
Use the benchmark.
Check the tariff.
This reference helps place a residential bill in context. It cannot identify your available plans, service territory, fixed customer charge, time-of-use periods, eligibility or local taxes.
Your bill’s total divided by billed kWh can be a useful starting point, but check what is included. Past-due balances, one-time charges, solar credits and other adjustments can make that figure different from an electricity price.
Calculator coverage: Wisconsin is currently included as a statistical reference. Utility tariff calculations for this state are not yet supported. See the exact coverage matrix.
