Each row says which month it is and whether EIA treats that year as final or preliminary. EIA's note: Values for 2025 are final. Values for 2026 are preliminary estimates based on a cutoff model sample. A price that EIA does not print (it shows \"--\" or \"NM\") is empty. A state average is not a utility rate: the price on your own bill depends on your utility and plan.",
