The verdict · 2025
Oklahoma's residential electricity runs 13.12¢/kWh - 24.2% below the 17.30¢/kWh national average, cheaper than 84% of other states, with 45% of its power from renewables.
This is EIA state average revenue per kWh across 1.9M reported residential customers, a benchmark for comparing states, not the tariff on any single bill. Source: EIA retail-sales API, annual frequency.

Who generates Oklahoma's electricity
Oklahoma has 306 operable generating units on EIA's inventory totalling 33,888 MW of net summer capacity. The largest single plant is Seminole (OK) , a natural gas steam turbine station operated by Oklahoma Gas & Electric Co , rated 1,522 MW.
Balancing authorities keep supply and demand matched on the grid; the largest here by capacity are Southwest Power Pool, Electric Reliability Council of Texas, Inc and Associated Electric Cooperative, Inc.

What Oklahoma's Electricity Data Tells Us
Residential customers in Oklahoma pay 13.12¢/kWh in 2025, across 1.9M metered households, placing the state 24.2% below the national residential average of 17.30¢/kWh. Commercial rates sit at 9.08¢/kWh while industrial buyers pay 6.15¢/kWh. These sector averages describe recorded revenue per kWh; this dataset alone does not establish why they differ. Annual residential sales total 24.5M MWh on roughly $3.2B in utility revenue. Sales and revenue are reported retail-series measures and should not be treated as a local load forecast.
Oklahoma's industrial rate ranks 50 of 51 while its residential rate ranks 43, so the gap between what a factory and a household pay is narrower here than in most states. No single fuel reaches half of Oklahoma's in-state generation. Natural gas leads at 44.7%, with wind at 41.8% close enough behind that the mix reads as a balance rather than a clear lead. It is the leading fuel in 26 states. Renewable fuels (solar, wind, hydro, geothermal and biomass) account for 44.9% of Oklahoma's electricity output. These shares describe in-state generation, not a utility-specific customer bill.
Looking back across EIA records, residential prices in Oklahoma moved from 10.20¢/kWh in 2016 to 13.12¢/kWh in 2025, a 28.6% shift over that window. States charging a similar rate include Washington, Nevada, Utah, a useful peer set for a sanity check. Because gas sets the price of the marginal megawatt-hour on a grid built around it, Oklahoma's residential rate tracks the fuel market with a lag: a gas-price winter shows up on bills months later, and a cheap gas year works its way through the same way. Read the number as a floor rather than a promise. A statewide average this far under the national figure is usually held down by a few large low-cost generators, and a household on the wrong side of a service-territory boundary in Oklahoma can pay well above it.

Oklahoma Average Price by Sector and Year (¢/kWh)
The chart above tracks households only. In 2025, Oklahoma households paid 13.12¢/kWh while businesses paid 9.08¢/kWh, a 44.5% residential premium, a wider household-versus-business gap than most states.

Using Oklahoma's numbers
Renewables already carry a large share of generation here, so the marginal question in Oklahoma has shifted from building supply to firming it. Storage and interconnection are what the next rate moves turn on.
- Oklahoma sits 24.2% below the national average, see exactly where it lands among all 50 states. See the rankings
- Check the multi-year trend before you judge the rate, a low price rising fast can cost more over a decade than a steady one. Oklahoma price trend

Figures are EIA state averages by sector, computed as revenue divided by sales, so delivery and taxes are inside them but not broken out. Your actual rate depends on your utility, plan, and usage, see our disclaimer.
