Energy costs in Little Rock, AR
Energy prices are published by state, not by city, so the rates and bills below are Arkansas figures and apply to Little Rock the same as anywhere else in the state. The solar production is different: that is modelled for Little Rock's own coordinates, and it varies a lot within a single state.

8,219kWh a year from 6 kW

What is the average electric bill in Little Rock?
