How much does it cost to run a dishwasher in Utah?

$32/yr · median certified model

Utah's 13.4¢/kWh rate undercuts the national average by 27%, so the typical certified dishwasher costs roughly $32 a year here instead of $44.

That makes Utah the #3 cheapest of the 51 U.S. jurisdictions for running a dishwasher. Model choice matters as much as geography: at Utah rates the most efficient certified model (Loch L1126) costs $11 a year while the most power-hungry (Amana ADFS2524R) costs $32 — a spread of $21 every year. For reference, the national extremes are Nevada (13.1¢/kWh) and Hawaii (52.7¢/kWh); the same median dishwasher would cost $31 and $126 a year there.
