ICF Warns U.S. Residential Power Rates Could Rise 15% to 40% in Five Years on Grid Congestion

Analysts at the consulting firm ICF forecast that U.S. residential electricity rates could rise another 15% to 40% over the next five years and double by 2050, identifying power grid congestion as a root problem.

The strain on the U.S. electricity grid could sharply increase electric bills and hinder efforts to address climate change, according to reporting published by Skeptical Science and Naked Capitalism.

Power-line congestion has emerged recently as data centers proliferate and demand from electric vehicles, heat pumps and air conditioning grows.

U.S. transmission construction has stagnated at an average of 600 new miles per year since 2017.
