Bill overview
The Ethics in Energy Act of 2025 aims to prevent large energy companies from recovering expenses related to political influence activities from their customers. Specifically, it prohibits covered utilities – defined as electric utilities, major natural gas companies, and centralized service companies – from recovering expenses for lobbying, campaign contributions, or other activities designed to influence government decisions. The bill requires the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to issue regulations and implement reporting requirements to ensure transparency and accountability regarding these expenses, with penalties for non-compliance.
