Nationally, energy costs consume about 7.1 percent of the average consumer’s total income. However, monthly energy bills for Colorado residents are the lowest in the nation.
According to WalletHub, a consumer focused website, the new study looked at three areas: electricity, natural gas, and monthly fuel consumption.
Colorado’s average monthly energy cost is $301.

2. 14th for electricity consumption per consumer.
3. 19th for fuel consumption per driver.
4. 29th for the price of electricity.
