Question: Which US States Have the Cheapest or Most Expensive Electricity Prices?

Answer:
On March 30, 2010, the National Renewable Energy Laboratory published a map of the average US residential electricity price by utility service territory. The average electricity price data is based on 2008 EIA data. Electricity price is visually represented using a yellow to red color spectrum to express concentrations.
