BILL Drivers Act

This bill directs the Energy Information Administration (EIA), working with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, to analyze how the main cost parts of residential and small business electricity bills changed in each state over the past 7 years. The analysis would cover generation, transmission, distribution, state and local taxes and fees, and state policy costs such as net metering, renewable portfolio standards, and public benefits programs, and would look at the effects of large new loads like data centers. The EIA must report the results to Congress within 180 days of the law taking effect, and both agencies must post the results on their websites. The bill states it does not change ratemaking authority, require changes to retail rates, or assign costs to any utility or customer class.
