Alaska Electricity Cost Calculator

Homes in Alaska paid an average of 26.85¢ per kilowatt-hour from August 2025 to July 2026, 49% above the U.S. average of 17.99¢. That is the 8th-highest of 51, between Connecticut (27.99¢) and New Hampshire (26.67¢).

The average Alaska home used 587 kWh a month — the 6th-least of the 51 — so its typical bill came to $158 a month, the 24th-highest. At the national rate the same 587 kWh would cost $52 less a month.

In July 2026, the latest month published, the Alaska rate was 28.83¢.

At 26.85¢ per kWh, every extra 100 kWh a month adds $26.85 to the monthly bill and $322 to the year. The table runs from half to twice the Alaska average home's 587 kWh, using the same calculation as the calculator above.

The average Alaska home's bill peaked at about $211 in January 2026 and was lowest, about $127, in September 2025. Use ran from 458 kWh in June 2026 to 825 kWh in January 2026, 1.8 times as much.

The rate moved too, from 25.52¢ in January 2026 to 28.83¢ in July 2026. A monthly rate includes that month's fuel and seasonal charges, which is why the calculator uses the 12-month average for a yearly estimate.

Among the 10 largest providers listed, average residential rates in 2024 ran from 12.48¢ at Ketchikan Public Utilities to 69.95¢ at Alaska Village Elec Coop, Inc. On the average Alaska home's 587 kWh that is a difference of $337 a month.

These are 2024 figures, the latest final year. The Alaska average was 24.82¢ that year and 26.85¢ over the last 12 months, up 8% — compare the providers with each other, not with today's average.

Together they serve 92% of Alaska's 298,397 residential customers. The rates are each company's residential revenue divided by kilowatt-hours sold, so customer charges are included; a plan or tier can still differ.
