“listening to my colleagues on the Republican side of the aisle, this report obviously does absolutely nothing to address the prices of power and electricity that continues to go up. Mr. Speaker, I include in the Record a document from the Joint Economic Committee, as well as a link to the document located at: https://www.jec.senate.gov/public/_cache/files/22e24fd6-4db7-44c6-93a9-9710c6f48b85/electricity-bills-report.pdf [From the Joint Economic Committee Minority, Nov. 2025] State-by-State Data: Annual Electricity Bills Up $100 Per Family in 2025 Last year, President Donald Trump repeatedly promised that energy bills across the country would be "cut in half" within 12 months. However, this new Joint Economic Committee--Minority analysis finds that electricity costs are increasing significantly, with households in nearly every state on track to pay more for electricity this year compared to last year. The Committee estimated full-year 2025 electricity costs per state based on the monthly electricity bill data released by the federal Energy Information Administration (EIA) for January-August of 2025. The Committee projects that annual electricity costs will be at least 5 percent higher than last year in 37 states plus D.C., and at least 10 percent higher than last year in 10 states plus D.C. On average, the Committee projects that American households will pay approximately $100 more per household in electricity costs this year.”
