In 2021, the average nominal retail electricity price paid by U.S. residential electric customers rose at the fastest rate since 2008, increasing 4.3% from 2020 to 13.72 cents per kilowatthour (kWh), according to data from our latest Electric Power Monthly. This increase is similar to the change in the U.S. Consumer Price Index, which was 4.7% in 2021.

Prices for most types of energy commodities rose significantly in 2021, including the cost of power generation fuels, especially natural gas, which helped push electricity prices higher in 2021. The cost of natural gas delivered to U.S. power plants in 2021 averaged $4.98 per million British thermal units (MMBtu), more than double the $2.32/MMBtu average recorded in 2020. https://www.eia.gov/todayinenergy/detail.php?id=51438#:~:text=In%202021%2C%20the%20average%20nominal%20retail%20electricity%20price,to%20data%20from%20our%20latest%20Electric%20Power%20Monthly.

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, prices for electricity are 426.36% higher in 2022 versus 1913 (a $426.36 difference in value)....according to U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, $100 in 1913 has the same "purchasing power" as $526.36 in 2022 (in the CPI category of Electricity). https://www.in2013dollars.com/Electricity/price-inflation
