Plain-English Summary

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission would be required to create and maintain a public database that tracks changes in utility rates across the country, allowing consumers and policymakers to see how electricity and gas prices are changing over time. This tracker would help people understand trends in their energy costs and make it easier for lawmakers to monitor whether utility companies are raising rates significantly. The tool would primarily affect utility companies, regulators, and consumers who want transparent information about energy pricing.
