Electricity rates surged in 2025, with households paying an average of $110 more, a 6.4% increase. Twelve states saw hikes of at least 10%, led by D.C. at 23.5%. New Jersey, Indiana, and Illinois had the biggest state increases. Democrats blame Trumps unkept energy cost pledge, while global markets drive prices. Gas prices also rose, averaging $3.72, up from $2.93 a month ago, due to the U.S.-Israeli war in Iran.
