Call the electric company and find out how much the previous renter paid - that would be the best determinant.
The LL wouldn't know because the LL doesn't get the electric bills for their tenants.
I use the budget plan and whenever I move to an apartment I am always given a fairly low rate - lower than what I use because I like it COLD in the summer so I use my AC almost non-stop. So I ask them to up the monthly budget based on MY prior usage in other apartments I've lived in.
Try asking the folks in the leasing office. Sometimes they keep generic information on how much utilities for their units generally run. If that doesn't work, try calling the utility provider. Sometimes they will share with you what the average bill has been.
ask landlord. insulation makes a difference -- best guide is prior year's actual spending
Contact the electric company and ask for the past monthly amounts.
not a meaning ful average at all. Ask your future neighbors. They would have same size apartment built to same quality and time. Perhaps facing same direction with sun exposure. Your rate in that town would be different that my town.
There is no one on this forum that is able to answer your question. We have no idea if you are an energy hog or an energy conservative.
You would want to call the utility provider to obtain information and literature about the cost of each KW hour it cost to have use of the electric. The use of each KW you would use would be teh determining factor in the cost to you.
This information provided by the utility provider would give you a good idea as to the estimated cost you would be charged.
Your actual usage of this utility would be the eventual cost you would pay. If you are sort of conservative in your use of this utility, it would not cost very much.
I find that the use of gas to cook with is more economical and would not select an all electric unit to rent.
I hope this has been of some benefit to you, good luck.

Do you pay for your own heat and air conditioning? Do you pay for your water heater? Are there major appliances in your unit like washer and dryer?
If you answered 'no' to all those questions, you can probably expect your bill to be $30 or so. If you answered 'yes', it could be over $100.
I don't know if every energy company does this, but mine will give an estimated price for a specific address based on what previous tenants paid. You could call and ask.
Call the electric company and ask what prior renter paid so you know for sure.
you can ask to see the previous years bills for your apartment or others in the building, the name and apartment numbers may be blacked but you can get the cost info
Totally depends on what you have plugged in, what the fees are in your city and a few other things.
in good weather when you don't need heat
you could pay under $50 a month
but electric heating drives the price up a lot
in 1 place I lived it was more than my monthly rent
I would say OH winter time electric baseboard heat can be expensive esp. if the place does not have adequate insulation
hard to tell, are you an average person or do you use a lot of electricity
Whatever your usage is...... bills are calculated on what you use, not what you are 'prepared to pay'
