California is one of the most expensive states to live in, but in terms of energy costs, it is surprisingly one of the most affordable in the country.
has revealed that the state ranks 46th out of the 50 states and the District of Columbia in total energy costs for 2023. California residents pay, on average, $408 per month for electricity, natural gas, motor vehicle fuel and, if they use it, home heating oil.The high cost is driven mainly by home heating oil. With its frigid winters, heating a home in Wyoming, as well as in North Dakota and Alaska, has made these states the top three most expensive energy.
To determine the costs for each state, WalletHub researchers collected data from the Census Bureau, Energy Information Administration, Federal Highway Administration, AAA, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, and Environmental Protection Agency.
The total energy cost is the sum of electricity, natural gas, motor vehicle fuel and heating oil costs. The following map and the table below will allow you to evaluate how California compares to other states.
