Wyoming pairs coal and wind generation with the lowest population density in the country, which keeps generation cheap but spreads transmission cost across very few customers. Retail service is regulated. Winters are severe and long at high altitude, so heating dominates annual consumption, and summer cooling is close to negligible in much of the state.
