Long, dark winters. The Alaska figure is a high rate on moderate use, not a lower-48 bill. The rate is high because power is expensive to generate and deliver. Homes use fewer kilowatt-hours than the national average.
EIA builds the average bill from residential revenue divided by the number of residential customers (301,478 in Alaska). It includes the energy and delivery charges utilities reported. It is not a quote for one house. A larger home, electric heat, or a time-of-use plan can land far from this average.
