Biggest pending increases
What each utility has asked for, on a typical bill. Commissions usually approve less.
This is a request, not a decision; Eversource's actual Connecticut electric bill increase, if any, will not be set until PURA rules in 2027.
The baseline usage here is 83 therms a month for a typical NYSEG heating customer, not kWh.
NYSEG customers are paying a small temporary increase while regulators decide on a much larger rate request; the final number could still change substantially.
RG&E customers are on temporary rates while the commission reviews a much larger permanent increase request.
This pending case would raise Black Hills Energy bills in northeastern Wyoming by about 33 dollars a month; it has not been decided.
This case would raise your PSE electric bill in stages starting in 2027; nothing has been decided yet.

Recent decisions
What the commission actually approved.
This is new state law aimed at keeping data center power costs off your bill; the CPUC still has to write the actual tariff rules, due by January 1, 2028, so there is no bill impact yet.
Your DTE natural gas bill is going up about 2.87 dollars a month starting October 1, 2026, with another 68 cents added in January 2027.
Regulators approved a smaller increase than requested and scaled back the grid upgrade spending it was meant to pay for.
Your Xcel Colorado natural gas bill is approved to rise about 5.16 dollars a month starting October 6, 2026, less than half of what Xcel originally asked for.
Your Spire Alabama fixed monthly charge is approved to rise 2.50 dollars in October 2026 and another 2.50 dollars in October 2027; regulators call the overall change revenue neutral.
Spire Alabama's fixed monthly charge is rising by 2.50 dollars in October 2026 and another 2.50 dollars in October 2027, which the commission says will be offset by lower usage based rates so the change is revenue neutral overall.
What you get
A rate case is the public proceeding where a utility asks the state commission for permission to charge more. It is public record, it has a docket number, a hearing, a comment period and a decision, and it is almost never written for the people who pay for it. We read the filings and say what they mean: the ask, what was actually approved (usually much less), the dollars on a typical bill, and the dates that matter.
Dollar figures come from the utility's own published estimate when it exists. When only a percentage is published, we apply it to the average residential bill in your state from the US Energy Information Administration and say so. The methodology page shows the arithmetic.
In 14 states and DC you can choose who supplies your electricity, which is the one part of a bill a household can shop. Where that applies, the page says so.
How often do commissions grant the full ask? Rarely; we measured it.
