Based on the official U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) monthly retail-sales statistical average of 19.56¢/kWh for reporting period 2026-06.
1,000 kWh Standardized Comparison Baseline
The 1,000 kWh scenario serves as a standardized reference benchmark across all 50 states and D.C. In Wisconsin, consuming 1,000 kWh yields an estimated monthly cost benchmark of $195.60.
- Comparison with U.S. National Benchmark (18.34¢): Nationwide, 1,000 kWh at the official EIA U.S. residential aggregate rate costs $183.40. Wisconsin is $12.20 (6.7%) above the national benchmark.
