Average electric bill in Oklahoma
A typical Oklahoma household pays
$141a month · $1693 a year
That is 5% below the national average of $149, the 31st highest bill of the 51 states we track. It covers 1,043 kilowatt hours a month at 13.38¢ each.
Nobody pays the average
Dearest — July 2025
$206
Cheapest — November 2025
$101
The dearest month costs $106 more than the cheapest — 105% higher and it is air conditioning that does it. Oklahoma runs about 2,000 cooling degree days a year, so the summer bill is where any efficiency gain shows up.
Why the bill is what it is
A bill is a rate multiplied by a quantity, and in Oklahoma the price per kilowatt hour is doing most of the work. Comparing your own bill to this figure only tells you something once you know which of the two you could actually change — the rate is largely fixed, the quantity is not.
Heating and cooling are usually the largest movable part. Whether that means a heat pump, a more efficient air conditioner, or neither depends on Oklahoma's prices rather than on general advice.
Figures are twelve-month averages across 1,920,857 residential accounts in Oklahoma, from the US Energy Information Administration. They describe the state, not your house — square footage, insulation and what you keep the thermostat at move an individual bill a long way. See the Oklahoma rate page for the underlying prices.
