According to WalletHub, Alabamians spend more on electricity monthly than any other state, at an average of $174, followed by Connecticut and South Carolina.

The analysis took into account the average monthly consumption, and prices, of electricity, natural gas, home heating oil and gasoline.

It’s because Alabama placed third behind Louisiana and Mississippi in terms of energy consumption, and just ahead of Arkansas and Tennessee. If you’re wondering why,Anthony Cook, a spokesman for Alabama Power, said its residential customers consumed 15% less electricity in the first quarter of 2023, compared to the first quarter of 2022.

“Increased electric demand is anticipated with the recent heat wave, but that is to be expected in periods of extreme temperatures.” But, at the same time, Alabama drivers consumed the third largest amount of gasoline, behind Wyoming and Mississippi.
