According to AAA, the average regular gas price as of March 16 is $3.72 per gallon-up $0.24 from a week ago, and nearly $0.79 from this time last year. CNN reports that the 26.9 percent gain in US gas prices over the past month is the largest monthly increase since Hurricane Katrina.
UBS expects the stock's 43% price-to-earnings discount to narrow "meaningfully" with continued risk reduction. PG&E's data center pipeline stands at 3.6 GW in final engineering, up from 1.6 GW in Q3 2025, representing a significant load growth catalyst. Management guided for 2026 non-GAAP core EPS of $1.64 to $1.66, with a $73 billion five-year capital plan requiring no new common equity.
The bulk of the £200 (10%) saving from a year ago is not real. It's a transfer of bad climate policy costs from bills to taxes. Hiding the problem, not solving it. This means future taxpayers, your children, are now subsidising old wind farms and failed heat pump promotion campaigns, rather than stopping the waste.
The total stood at 319,459 domestic electricity accounts where payments were missed. This represents 14pc of household electricity customers, up from 13pc in the previous quarter. Some 191,525 of those in arrears are more than 90 days behind on their payments, the CRU arrears report shows.
An all-electric, energy-efficient alternative to gas-burning furnaces, heat pumps are widely seen as the climate-friendly home heater of choice. They can do double-duty as both home heaters and AC units and are pretty good at maintaining a constant temperature inside a home without the blast-then-cool-off cycle typical of a furnace.
Only 775 of the nearly 600,000 potentially eligible Con Edison customers have enrolled for the state's expanded energy assistance program since it opened last month, the company said. The Energy Affordability Program helps eligible New Yorkers struggling to afford their utility bills by providing monthly discounts. Discount levels vary by household size and income. In New York City, someone who uses gas heat and whose income is less than 60% of the area median income - $68,050 for a single person and $97,200 for a household of four - would see discounts of more than $135 per month.
The change, which follows a 5% rate cut that went into effect Jan. 1, comes on the heels of rising tensions between the utility, its customers and Bay Area leaders. Multiple blackouts just before Christmas and New Year's Day left tens of thousands of San Francisco residents without electricity for several days, drawing widespread attention and even prompting some government officials to call for a shift away from PG&E infrastructure.
Yet four years away from that deadline, not only is the Empire State 15 gigawatts (GW) shy of its goal but also investments in renewable energy are dipping. On Dec. 19, 2025, Gov. Kathy Hochul signed the Public Renewables Transparency Act, sponsored by Assembly Member Sarahana Shrestha (D-Ulster County), to open up the New York Power Authority's (NYPA) conferral process
Southern California Edison says that with the help of those state laws it expects to pay little or even none of the damage costs of the Eaton fire, which its equipment is suspected of sparking. But in recent filings to state officials, fire victims and consumer advocates say the law has gone too far and made the utilities' unaccountable for their mistakes, leading to even more fires. "What do you think will happen if you constantly protect perpetrators of fires," said Joy Chen, executive director of the Eaton Fire Survivors Network.
The brutal cold snap gripping New York this winter has left utility customers feeling the burn of skyrocketing heating bills. National Grid customers in NYC are outraged over skyrocketing heating bills, coinciding with the utility giant's Monday announcement of record usage during the city's ongoing cold snap. The astronomical costs, several readers told amNewYork, are overwhelmingly driven not by increased consumption but by soaring delivery fees and other unclear charges listed on their monthly bills.
Because they operate continuously, data centers consume electricity. These operations involve operating large numbers of servers, cooling systems, networking equipment, and other infrastructure components. The electricity consumption of data centers varies widely with size, capacity, efficiency, and geographic location, yet demand is constant. While that was an important data point over the past few years, many of the top stocks in the sector have delivered outsized gains and may be trading near their highs.
