How this service works
Current average U.S. retail price of electricity, in cents per kilowatt-hour (cents/kWh) — e.g. "what's the electricity price right now". Reflects the latest monthly data (not real-time), averaged across all sectors combined (not sector-specific), sourced from the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA). Optional 'state' param (2-letter code) returns that state's average instead of the national figure.
Output
Returns a JSON object with the latest monthly average retail electricity price in cents/kWh, including the date of the data, the region (state code or 'US' for national), the unit (cents/kWh), and the EIA as the source.
Example use cases
Compare state electricity costs for relocation
“I'm thinking about moving to either Texas or Massachusetts — can you look up the latest average electricity price in cents per kWh for both states so I can factor that into my cost of living?”
Track energy expenses for budget planning
“What's the current retail electricity price across the US right now? I need to know the national average to estimate my monthly utility bill for next quarter.”
Evaluate business operating costs by region
“I'm expanding my data center and narrowing it down between three states — can you pull the latest EIA electricity rates in cents per kWh for Florida, Oregon, and Illinois so I can compare operational costs?”
