About this Podcast:
Your electric bill didn't go up by accident. Every month, utilities file rate cases, tack on fuel adjustment clauses, and quietly shift costs onto residential customers — and most households never see it coming. Power Bill is the weekday show that reads the fine print so you don't have to. We track state public utility commission orders, residential rate increases, shutoff moratorium changes, and the growing wave of data-center cost riders landing on household electric bills. We skip the hyperscaler capex talk and the interconnection wonkery — if it doesn't change what you owe on the 15th, we don't cover it. What you will hear: which utility just filed for a rate hike, what the PUC approved and what it rejected, how fuel cost pass-throughs work and who's eating them this month, and which residential customers are facing higher fixed charges because a warehouse full of servers moved in down the road. Residential electric rates are a policy story, a justice story, and a household budget
