New @TCFdotorg @borrowerjustice utility debt analysis. TLDR, the utility crisis is getting worse:

💰Energy bills have spiked 3x faster than inflation

💰Typical bills are now $280+ in 18 states

💰Rising utility costs are pushing more families deeper into the red
Photo of a family home with a title reading, “Power Failure: Energy bills are soaring, and more families are falling behind,” and mentioning The Century Foundation and Protect Borrowers’ new updated utility debt report. Photo of power grid towers with text reading that “Energy prices are rising three times faster than inflation under Trump” and that the average monthly energy bill has climbed to $280—up 12% since the end of 2024. Century Foundation and Protect Borrowers graphic of a 50-state heatmap, reading “For millions of families, higher bills are becoming impossible to keep up with. Average energy costs have jumped more than 20% in ten states since the end of 2024…”
