Average price = residential revenue ÷ residential sales from each utility's federal EIA-861 filing (bundled service — supply + delivery + riders, not a quoted tariff rate). State average = 12.22¢/kWh, volume-weighted across these utilities (2024). Your distribution utility is fixed by address; these gaps measure what households in different territories actually paid. A further 2 competitive suppliers / solar lessors report energy-only or behind-the-meter sales in Oklahoma; their prices cover only part of the bill and are not comparable to the all-in figures above.

Heating: which fuel is cheapest per million BTU in Oklahoma?

Oklahoma residential energy prices normalized to $/MMBTU (site energy)
FuelNative priceAs of$ per MMBTU
Utility natural gas$1.014 /thermFeb 202610.14
Propane$2.272 /galMar 30, 202624.84
Electricity (resistance)12.89 ¢/kWhFeb 202637.78

Utility natural gas is the cheapest residential energy per BTU in Oklahoma at $10.14/MMBTU. Conversions: 1 kWh = 3,412 BTU; 1 therm = 100,000 BTU; heating oil 138,500 BTU/gal; propane 91,452 BTU/gal. Site-energy prices — appliance efficiency changes delivered-heat cost: a 95% AFUE gas furnace delivers heat near the gas figure, while a heat pump at seasonal COP 2.5–3 cuts the effective electric figure by 60–70%. (No EIA weekly heating-oil survey price for Oklahoma.)

About these numbers. Rates shown are averages computed from federal regulatory filings (EIA Form 861) and public tariff databases — confirm with your utility before making decisions; your actual rate depends on your tariff, usage, and riders. Distribution utility is determined by address and generally cannot be chosen; in retail-choice states you may choose your supplier for the supply portion of the bill. Savings figures use 10,800 kWh/yr (US average residential usage) and are estimates, not quotes.
