Electricity cost in Arizona

Arizona electricity planning needs both the serving utility's tariff and the home's seasonal kWh. Extreme summer cooling load can matter more than a simple annual price comparison.

Arizona residential benchmark14.91¢/kWh

Final 2024 EIA average: 1,075 kWh/month and $160.24/month. It is a state benchmark, not a utility tariff or plan offer.

What changes the real result?

  • All-in delivered rate, fixed fees and time-of-use periods
  • Actual monthly kWh and seasonal HVAC load
  • Plan term, minimum-use rules, credits and early termination
  • Solar export compensation and address-specific production
  • EV charging losses, vehicle efficiency and charging time
DO NOT MIX THESE NUMBERS

Average price ≠ utility tariff ≠ retail offer.

EIA divides residential revenue by electricity sold to create an average-revenue benchmark. Your bill applies address-specific rate rules and fees. In competitive markets, compare the full disclosure document at your normal usage—not only the advertised cents per kWh.
