Know Your Rates Act

Bill 119 HR 1412, also known as the "Consumer Energy Information Act," aims to amend the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978 to establish new federal standards for electric and gas utilities. These standards would require utilities to provide consumers with detailed information about their energy consumption.

Under this bill, electric and gas utilities would be mandated to transmit information to each of their consumers regarding their usage of electric energy or gas. This information would include data on how much energy the consumer is using, as well as tips on how to reduce energy consumption and save money on their utility bills.

The goal of this legislation is to empower consumers to make more informed decisions about their energy usage and to encourage energy conservation. By providing consumers with access to detailed information about their energy consumption, the bill aims to promote greater transparency and accountability in the utility industry. In addition to requiring utilities to provide consumer energy information, the bill also includes provisions for other purposes related to energy efficiency and conservation. Overall, the Consumer Energy Information Act seeks to improve energy efficiency, reduce energy waste, and empower consumers to take control of their energy usage.
