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.

If approved as filed, this would add about 26 dollars a month to a typical Liberty Utilities natural gas bill in New Hampshire; nothing has been decided yet.
This pending case would raise Entergy Texas delivery rates significantly; it has not been decided.
If approved as filed, this would add about 23.88 dollars a month to a typical OG&E Oklahoma bill; nothing has been decided yet.
This gas rate request has not been decided yet; the dollar figures here are what National Grid asked for, not a final number.
This is the fuel and purchased power part of your SDG&E bill, which moves with wholesale power costs, separate from the base delivery rate.
This case will set your SDG&E electric and gas base rates from 2028 through 2031; it is very early in the process and the numbers will change.
The 83-therm baseline here is monthly usage for a typical RG&E heating customer.
This is Evergy's opening ask for its Kansas City area customers; the company already cut it once because of new data center revenue, and the case is now in its evidentiary hearing with no decision yet.
This pending case would raise your Avista electric bill starting January 2027; the state Attorney General is fighting part of the request.
This is a separate North Carolina case from Dominion's larger Virginia rate filings; it only affects Dominion customers in Dominion's small northeastern North Carolina service area.
Montana-Dakota Utilities customers in North Dakota are already paying an interim increase of about 12.90 dollars a month while regulators review the full 14.5 percent request.
JCP&L is asking to raise base delivery rates but has proposed offsetting the impact for residential customers until 2028, so this would not show up on typical bills right away even if approved.
This case would raise your PSE natural gas bill in stages starting in 2027; nothing has been decided yet.
This is a new, separate request on top of the rate increase that already took effect in May 2026. Michigan's Attorney General is now pushing to cut it by more than half; nothing has been decided yet.
This new Ameren Missouri request follows closely on the heels of the case approved in April 2025; nothing has been decided yet.
As filed, a typical residential bill would rise about 13 dollars a month in 2027 and 8 to 9 dollars more in 2028, a combined 16.3 percent, but how much of that is really tied to data centers versus other grid needs is one of the contested questions in the case.
This case sets your combined PG&E gas and electric base rates starting in 2027; nothing has been decided yet.
If approved as filed, this would be a bigger increase than the 4.1 percent DTE got approved in its last case; MPSC Staff and the state Attorney General both want the increase cut well below what DTE asked for.
As filed, a typical WPS residential bill would rise about 11.19 dollars a month in 2027 and 5.43 dollars more in 2028; nothing has been decided yet.

This pending case would raise your Avista natural gas bill starting January 2027.
This pending case would raise your Pacific Power bill further in 2027; part of the increase already started in June 2026.
MidAmerican customers are already paying a temporary increase while the case is reviewed; if the full 2.89 dollar a month request is approved as filed it would stay in effect, and it does not involve data centers.
This is a smaller, recurring infrastructure charge, not a full base rate case; it would add about 2.25 dollars a month to a typical UNS Gas bill if approved.
Entergy Arkansas has asked to raise a typical residential bill about 1.16 dollars a month starting in 2027; the case has not been decided yet.
This is a small, gradually rising charge if approved: about a quarter a month at first, growing to under a dollar a month over a few years; it has not been decided yet.
The Maine PUC denied CMP's temporary $7-a-month increase request on October 6, 2026, so that charge will not appear on bills. The larger, separate request that could add about 18 dollars a month is still pending and is not expected to be decided until spring 2027.
Delmarva Power has an interim increase of about 34 million dollars in effect since July 2026 and is appealing how it was calculated in court; a final decision on the full 75.8 million dollar request is not expected until 2027.
This case, still open as of August 2026, will help decide whether seven new gas plants built mainly for one company's data center get repaid entirely by that company or partly by everyday Entergy Louisiana customers. A commission decision was reportedly expected around December 2026, though that timeline was not confirmed by the commission itself.
Nothing changes on home bills unless and until this tariff is approved, but its purpose is to keep future data center grid costs off residential rates.
MEAG Power supplies the city owned utilities and expects data center load on its system to roughly double within about five years. City utility rates are set by each city, not the Public Service Commission.
Nothing here changes a bill today. What matters is whether the large load contract survives intact; if it is weakened, the cost of plants built for data centers starts showing up in the next general rate cases around 2027 and 2028.
Oglethorpe Power, which generates most of the electricity Georgia's EMCs sell, is adding natural gas plants it ties to data center and industrial load. EMC rates are set by each cooperative's board, not the Public Service Commission, so watch your EMC's rate notices.
Transmission upgrades like this are typically billed to every electric customer in the state through transmission charges, not just to the data center that made the new line necessary, which is why the cost allocation question matters for ordinary bills even outside the counties involved.
If regulators approve it, Oracle would cover part of We Energies' nuclear power costs instead of spreading them to all customers, which the company says will lower everyone's fuel charges rather than raise them.
This is a proposed decrease, not an increase; I&M says new large industrial and data center customers are helping pay for the grid, letting it lower rates for everyone else, but the case still needs IURC approval.
If approved, this would lower your Avista natural gas bill by about 7.38 dollars a month; it is separate from Avista's larger pending rate increase request.
Recent decisions
