As of August 21, 2025, the US Energy Information Administration found that Alaska has the highest per capita energy expenditures of any state at $12,100. [1] According to their recently published State Energy Data System information for 2023, Wyoming and North Dakota spent the next most on energy (spending over twice the national average of $4,700), and Florida had the lowest per capita energy expenditures at $3,700, followed by New York and Maryland. These differences in expenditures are attributable to weather, economic composition, industrial energy consumption, and other factors. Alaska, Wyoming, and North Dakota have cold winters that require more energy for heating, and their state economies also have more energy-intensive industrial sectors. Florida has warm weather and therefore requires less energy for heating. New York has widespread public transit use and lower expenditures for transportation fuels. Both states have less energy-intensive industries. Nationwide average energy expenditures decreased in the US in 2023, but remained higher than long-term averages. Energy expenditures in 2023 were 12% less than in 2022, largely due to lower energy prices.
