The Ratepayer Protection Act aims to shield utility customers from rate increases tied to certain federal energy regulations, giving states more say over electricity costs.
The Ratepayer Protection Act would allow states to delay or opt out of compliance with federal Environmental Protection Agency rules that could raise electricity rates for consumers. Supporters say it protects households and businesses from higher energy bills caused by federal mandates. Critics argue it undermines national environmental policy and could slow progress on reducing power plant emissions.
