How much does it cost to run a computer monitor in Louisiana?
$6.07/yr · median certified model
Louisiana's 13.5¢/kWh rate undercuts the national average by 26%, so the typical certified computer monitor costs roughly $6.07 a year here instead of $8.26.
That makes Louisiana the #4 cheapest of the 51 U.S. jurisdictions for running a computer monitor. Model choice matters as much as geography: at Louisiana rates the most efficient certified model (Acer PE140WU_z) costs $1.50 a year while the most power-hungry (PLANAR 2E0I1) costs $54 — a spread of $53 every year. For reference, the national extremes are Nevada (13.1¢/kWh) and Hawaii (52.7¢/kWh); the same median computer monitor would cost $5.90 and $24 a year there.
