Stop Unfair Electricity Prices Act

This bill would restrict the Department of Energy from providing financial assistance to regulated investor-owned electric utilities that raise residential electricity rates above the level set on January 1, 2026. For the first year after enactment, the Secretary of Energy cannot give aid to any utility that increases rates for home customers. During the following two years, financial assistance is only allowed if the utility keeps compensation for its five highest-paid employees at or below 2026 levels and reduces their pay twice as much as the rate increase. The bill also requires utilities to submit reports to the Department of Energy detailing employee compensation changes if they receive funding.
