“We are all aware of the growing need for energy conservation. In Washington State, energy costs have been steadily rising, making it more critical than ever to ensure your home is energy-efficient.

Energy Price Trends in Washington State

Over the past decade, Washington residents have experienced significant increases in both electricity and natural gas prices:

• Electricity: The average residential electricity rate in Washington rose from 9.74 cents per kilowatt-hour in 2015 to 11.79 cents in January 2025, marking a 21% increase over ten years.
• Natural Gas: Residential natural gas prices increased from $10.28 per thousand cubic feet in 2015 to $15.55 in 2024, a 51% rise over the decade.

These upward trends are expected to continue. The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) projects that natural gas prices will remain elevated through 2026, driven by increased demand and lower storage levels.
