Bill overview
The POWER Act requires retail electric utilities to notify consumers at least 30 days before raising rates, providing details about the increase, its justification, and how it will affect bills. Utilities must use multiple communication channels to ensure notification reaches all impacted consumers. The Department of Energy (DOE) will review rate increases of 5% or more, assess their impact, and recommend adjustments or mitigation strategies. This legislation aims to increase transparency and accountability in electricity pricing.
