Electric rate increases: pending and recent

30 rate increase requests from utilities on this site are waiting for a decision, and 79 rate decisions took effect or were made since January 2025. Each entry has the amount asked, the effect on a home bill as the regulator or utility printed it, the case number and the official source.

  • 30 pending requests
  • 79 decisions since 2025
  • Official sources, checked October 21, 2026

Pending rate increase requests

The utility has asked its regulator for higher rates, and there is no final decision yet. A request is not the final increase: commissions usually approve less than the utility asks. Grouped by state.

About this list

Each entry is from the regulator's documents (orders, notices, news releases) or the utility's own notices, linked under Sources. The amounts are as the source prints them: a revenue amount is for the whole utility, and the home amount is for the usage that the source names. A rate case changes the base rates; riders such as the fuel charge also change during the year. To see what a rate change in the tariff does to your own bill, use the rate change tool. Utilities on this site without an entry had no rate case that we found for 2025 to 2027.

Which electric utilities have asked for a rate increase?

Pending requests on this site: AES Ohio (OH); APS (Arizona Public Service) (AZ); Ameren Missouri (MO); Appalachian Power (Virginia) (VA); Avista Utilities (WA); BGE (MD); Central Maine Power (ME); Consumers Energy (MI); DTE Energy (MI); Duke Energy Carolinas (NC); Duke Energy Progress (NC); Evergy Missouri Metro (MO); Eversource (Connecticut) (CT); Indiana Michigan Power (Indiana) (IN); LES (NE); Montana-Dakota Utilities (North Dakota) (ND); Ohio Edison (OH); PG&E (CA); PSEG Long Island (LIPA) (NY); Pacific Power (Oregon) (OR); Portland General Electric (OR); Potomac Edison (MD); Puget Sound Energy (WA); Rocky Mountain Power (WY); SDG&E (CA); Tacoma Power (WA); The Illuminating Company (Cleveland Electric) (OH); Toledo Edison (OH); We Energies (WI); Wisconsin Public Service (WI).

Does the commission approve the full increase?

Often not. The commission reviews the request, the consumer advocate and others take part, and the approved increase is often lower than the request. Some cases end in a settlement that the commission then approves.

When does a new rate show on my bill?

On the date that the order or the new tariff sets, often for service from that date. A bill that covers days before and after the date usually splits the days between the old and the new rate.
