What energy costs in North Dakota, by category: the freshest reading (residential electricity, April 2026), the latest full-year prices for each fuel, and every fuel charted since 1980.

A million Btu is a fixed amount of heat (≈ 293 kWh of electricity, ≈ 10 therms of gas, ≈ 7.2 gallons of gasoline), so these prices compare fuels per unit of energy delivered, before equipment efficiency. "—" means the state has too little of that fuel's market for the EIA to price it.
