How much does it cost to run a freezer in Nebraska?
$56/yr · median certified model
Nebraska's 13.3¢/kWh rate undercuts the national average by 29%, so the typical certified freezer costs roughly $56 a year here instead of $79.
That makes Nebraska the #3 cheapest of the 51 U.S. jurisdictions for running a freezer. Model choice matters as much as geography: at Nebraska rates the most efficient certified model (Avanti CF24Q0W) costs $18 a year while the most power-hungry (Monogram ZIF361NBR) costs $86 — a spread of $68 every year. For reference, the national extremes are North Dakota (12.3¢/kWh) and Hawaii (46.6¢/kWh); the same median freezer would cost $52 and $195 a year there.
