The bill would require the Energy Information Administration, in consultation with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, to analyze seven-year changes in major electricity cost components for residential and small-business customers in each State. The Administrator would submit a report to Congress within 180 days after enactment, while the Commission and Administrator would separately publish the analysis results in a clear, consumer-friendly format. The bill would not alter ratemaking authority or require changes to retail electricity rates.
