Utility Hikes Transparency Act

This bill would require the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to create a free public online database, called the National Utility Rate Change Tracker, within 1 year. The database would list approved and effective rate changes for gas utilities and electric utilities that sell power to consumers. For each change, it would show the utility's name, the state, the dollar and percentage effect on the average residential monthly bill, the number of customers affected, the reasons given, and key dates. The Commission would update the database every three months, make it searchable by ZIP code, address, state, and city, and publish a plain-language explanation of how the data is gathered.
