We're ready to call out utility companies that put profits over people & fight for affordable, clean energy that works for EVERYONE.
In 2015, Dynegy "manipulated the market to overcharge electric customers by taking advantage of rules that have already been deemed unjust and unreasonable."

After a decade of legal fights, they're finally facing accountability.

Our mission is simple: Hold utilities accountable.

That means exposing corruption, organizing communities, and demanding regulators do their jobs.

Utilities spend millions protecting their profits. We're fighting back with truth and people power.

Your utility bill shouldn't fund:

❌ Executive country club memberships
❌ Political lobbying
❌ Corporate propaganda

But that's exactly what's happening.

It's time to fight back: https://www.utilityactionalliance.org/

🚨The nation's largest electric utility company Florida Power & Light, just got the green light to jack up rates on 12 million Floridians.

It's the largest rate hike in U.S. history.

The same leaders claiming the system can't be fixed are the ones letting corruption slide.

We have the power to demand real oversight and rein in utility greed.

Here's what that looks like 👇

Utility companies love to use YOUR bill money to buy off politicians, fund lobbying, and wine and dine the regulators who are supposed to oversee them.

We're exposing this corruption.

A reminder that gas utility bills have risen 4x faster than inflation.

Methane prices are set to surge 77% by 2029, and Donald Trump’s response is to hold back clean energy while doubling down on outdated fossil fuel plants.

Those greedy utility CEOs are living the dream!

Winter shutoffs are now legal in #Michigan

Read that again.

A new law now grants utility companies the power to disconnect electric service from Nov. through April.

Another cruel win for the utility lobby while everyday people struggle to survive…

🚨 Maine electric bills are set to hit their highest level in 3 years.

Central Maine Power and Versant Power customers could pay up to $200 more in 2026 after regulators approved new supply contracts tied to rising natural gas prices.

Maine residents just got stuck with the bill. Again.

Wisconsin lawmakers just introduced a bill to cap energy bills at 2% of household income after families reported choosing between electricity & medication.

While the bill will likely fail, this is an example of what's possible when people speak out and demand action!

If you thought inflation was high, check your gas bill.

Gas utility bills have risen at nearly 4X the rate of inflation over the past year.

Let that sink in.

Ever wonder why your electric bill keeps going up but nothing gets better?

We have the answers, and utilities HATE that we're sharing them.

🚨 FACT: The cost of methane gas is projected to hit $5 per million BTU in 2026. THAT'S MORE THAN DOUBLE its 2024 price.

🚨FACT: Clean energy is CHEAPER and FASTER to build. But utilities would rather lock you into expensive fossil fuels because that's how they maximize profits.
November 20, 2025 at 5:27 PM
Gas and electric utilities are seeking or already secured $34 BILLION in rate increases in the first three quarters of 2025.

That's MORE THAN DOUBLE what they got last year.

Meanwhile, 80 million Americans are struggling to pay utility bills.

This is a crisis.

El Paso families are facing nearly $40 more per month in utility costs as gas, water, and electric companies all raise rates at the same time.

One resident said it best: "Every dollar counts. At this point, it seems like everybody's coming for every dollar we have."

ICYMI: @dominionenergy.bsky.social says they need to raise rates to keep up with data center demand. What they're NOT saying: their proposal is really about guaranteed utility profits.

You take all the risk. Dominion protects its bottom line.

Utility bills jumped 12% over the last year.

Know what else went up? Utility company profits. CEO salaries. Shareholder dividends.

The system is rigged.
November 15, 2025 at 2:17 PM
Not only are utility companies jacking up your rates, they're fueling the climate crisis too.

Utility groups pushed for Trump's policies to gut EPA standards so they can keep burning dirty fossil fuels longer. More profit for executives. Higher bills and a hotter planet for you.

Here's your reminder not to lose hope:

The people of Georgia were so fed up with rising energy bills that they voted out TWO utility commissioners who rubber-stamped rate hike after rate hike.

Utility companies think they're untouchable. Georgia proved them wrong.

Utilities spent decades rigging the system in their favor. They count on you staying silent while they raise your rates to pad Wall Street profits.

We're building a movement to fight back, and we need you in it.

Here's the cold, hard truth:

📈Electricity prices have been rising FASTER than the cost of living since 2022

📈Utility companies in 41 states are already planning EVEN MORE rate hikes that will cost Americans at least $67B extra in electric bills.

This is a national crisis.

Should customers have to pay for a utility's $47 MILLION cost overrun while the company guarantees its #JPMorgan shareholders double-digit profits?

#ElPaso Electric thinks so.
