Oops, my bad.. CT, MA and NH have more expensive electricity than RI,. As do California and Hawaii....

So RI is definitely expensive, but only #6.. not number 1.

I live in Hawaii, was in rhode island for 17 years... It's not even close lol. Ri is dirt cheap in comparison. We have a massive battery system and solar panels to offset a bit, but electricity bill is still 200ish a month.
