flag High-regulation states have higher electricity prices than market-driven states, with prices up 33% since 2019.

flag According to the American Legislative Exchange Council’s 2026 Energy Affordability Report, states with extensive energy regulations, such as renewable mandates and cap-and-trade programs, have higher electricity prices than those with market-driven policies. flag While states like North Dakota and Louisiana reported some of the lowest rates, the report notes that national residential electricity prices increased 33% since 2019, reaching 17.3 cents per kilowatt-hour in 2025. flag ALEC attributes the cost increases to rising fuel prices, regulatory mandates, and utility rate requests, advocating for market competition and domestic energy production to improve affordability.
