Energy costs in Mesa, AZ
Energy prices are published by state, not by city, so the rates and bills below are Arizona figures and apply to Mesa the same as anywhere else in the state. The solar production is different: that is modelled for Mesa's own coordinates, and it varies a lot within a single state.
Solar at Mesa's coordinates
10,506kWh a year from 6 kW
That is close to the Arizona average, so the state figure would not have misled you here. At 15.23¢ a kilowatt hour it pays back in about 7.5 years with full net metering.

Common questions
What is the electricity rate in Mesa?
15.23¢ per kilowatt hour. That is the Arizona residential average from the EIA — rates are published per state, not per city, so it applies across Mesa and the rest of Arizona alike.
What is the average electric bill in Mesa?
About $161 a month for a typical Arizona household. Again this is a state figure: EIA reports revenue and customer counts by state, so a city-level bill would be an invention.
Is solar worth it in Mesa?
A 6 kW system at Mesa's coordinates is modelled at about 10,506 kilowatt hours a year, which pays for itself in roughly 7.5 years at Arizona electricity prices with full net metering. This one is genuinely local — production is modelled for this point, not the state.
