Energy costs in Tulsa, OK
Energy prices are published by state, not by city, so the rates and bills below are Oklahoma figures and apply to Tulsa the same as anywhere else in the state. The solar production is different: that is modelled for Tulsa's own coordinates, and it varies a lot within a single state.
Solar at Tulsa's coordinates
8,817kWh a year from 6 kW
That is close to the Oklahoma average, so the state figure would not have misled you here. At 13.38¢ a kilowatt hour it pays back in about 10 years with full net metering.

Common questions
What is the electricity rate in Tulsa?
13.38¢ per kilowatt hour. That is the Oklahoma residential average from the EIA — rates are published per state, not per city, so it applies across Tulsa and the rest of Oklahoma alike.
What is the average electric bill in Tulsa?
About $141 a month for a typical Oklahoma 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 Tulsa?
A 6 kW system at Tulsa's coordinates is modelled at about 8,817 kilowatt hours a year, which pays for itself in roughly 10 years at Oklahoma electricity prices with full net metering. This one is genuinely local — production is modelled for this point, not the state.
