| Q: |
C. Does FERC determine my electric and natural gas bills? |
| A: |
No. The retail rates that you pay are usually determined by your State Public Utility Commission. Many of the states have programs to assist you if you can’t pay your bill. They may also fund the installation of more efficient energy devices.
However, what FERC does ultimately affects consumers’ bills. For example, FERC regulates the sales of electricity at the wholesale level between companies in different states. FERC also regulates the rates charged to transport natural gas via pipelines.
Visit our Winter Energy Outlook 2005-2006 page to see how FERC actively monitored natural gas and electricity prices during this period.
You can control your energy costs by conserving energy and using it wisely. Start today by looking at some good energy saving tips. |
