Bill overview
The Energy PRICE Act directs the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to ensure that wholesale electricity rates account for the environmental costs of greenhouse gas emissions. If FERC finds that rates don't reflect these costs to public health and safety, they must be deemed unjust, unreasonable, or discriminatory. The bill aims to clarify Congress's intent regarding just and reasonable rates and to address the failure of markets to internalize pollution costs, promoting a more equitable and environmentally conscious electricity market.
