HR 8947 United States House · 119th Congress

Utility Hikes Transparency Act

This bill directs the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to create a public online database called the National Utility Rate Change Tracker. The database will record approved rate increases for electric and gas utilities, providing details such as the utility name, location, customer count, and the specific reasons for the hike. It will also show how these changes impact average monthly bills and total utility revenue, with data updated quarterly and searchable by address or city. The goal is to make utility pricing information more accessible to consumers by standardizing how data is collected and presented.
