Right next to it on the list

Same brand, different models
Ranked 5 of Asko's 13 certified dishwashers, this sits between the DBI563****** ($39/yr, the brand's cheapest) and the DFI786* ($43/yr, its priciest).
Asko DBI565* over 9 years
9 years is NAHB's typical service life for this category; at $41/year, the Asko DBI565* adds up to about $372 in electricity over that span.
Weighing a replacement
Efficient as certified dishwashers go, $41/year is a reasonable baseline if you're comparing what else is on the market.
Worth comparing a few current certified models before deciding.
If you're keeping it
At $41/year just to run, a dishwasher is worth protecting against an unplanned repair bill on top of that.
Where this number comes from
Nothing here is estimated from a nameplate wattage; the 220 kWh/yr is ENERGY STAR's own certified figure for this model. The full Dishwasher category page shows all 737 dishwashers ranked by cost; the state-rate guide covers the half of this number that isn't the appliance.
