Residential electricity prices increased 25%<\/a> while Joe Biden was president, and they are continuing to increase. This continuation occurs because there is a lag for the Trump administration\u2019s policies to take effect due to the time it takes to enact legislation, phase in changes, and finalize new or modified regulations. According to Massachusetts Institute of Technology professor Christopher Knittel<\/a>, \u201cTrump\u2019s effects on the rate changes won\u2019t take place until after the midterms.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The net-zero carbon transition forced on constituents by the Biden administration and leaders of Western countries was supposed to not only make electricity generation free from carbon but also produce the benefit of lower energy prices. Na\u00efve politicians believed that to be the case because the marginal costs of wind and solar power are less than the marginal costs of coal and natural gas-generated power. But the measure that planners and politicians should have used is system-wide costs, which include the cost of backup power and the increased infrastructure required for intermittent technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because wind and solar power can only produce electricity when the weather is conducive, they require backup power from natural gas, coal, or nuclear generators that operate 24\/7, or from very expensive storage batteries that store excess electricity when available to use when the wind is not blowing and the sun is not shining. System costs include the cost of backup power and the cost of extra infrastructure needed to move power from sunny and windy sites that are frequently far removed from where power is needed. Natural gas and coal generators can and are located near demand centers and, thus, do not require the extra infrastructure that solar and wind units require.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In essence, due to the need for backup power, the use of wind and solar power is actually creating redundancy in the generating system, since the intermittent units have to be backed up by other reliable units. Furthermore, it increases the costs of the units used as backup because they have fewer hours of operation over which to spread their costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wind and solar power are shown further favoritism by the massive subsidies they have been receiving for decades, and continue to receive, from taxpayers. Subsidies lower their levelized costs, which do not include backup power or the additional infrastructure costs required, and make it more difficult for fossil fuel and nuclear generators to compete, compounding the situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Electricity prices will continue to increase until the situation is corrected, which will take time, as the prediction from MIT\u2019s Knittel indicates. The situation is further complicated by increasing electricity demand from artificial intelligence (AI) data centers and increased electrification pushed by the Biden administration and blue states, which is continuing. Converting buildings from natural gas to electricity and cars from petroleum to electricity only complicates matters by raising demand for electricity and requiring more generators to meet that demand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump Gets Blamed for Rising Electricity Prices<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to E&E News<\/em>, Democratic lawmakers have used town halls, press conferences, and social media posts to blame President Trump\u2019s One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) for increasing energy prices<\/a> because of its phase-out of energy incentives from Biden\u2019s climate bill, the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act. But if the OBBBA is the cause, why did residential electricity prices increase 25% under Joe Biden? And why are those prices still increasing when the phase-out from the OBBBA has not yet begun?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Besides the OBBBA provisions, Democratic lawmakers are accusing the Trump administration of hostility toward wind and solar as the cause of the rise in consumers\u2019 utility bills<\/a>. President Trump has taken action principally against offshore wind, withdrawing permits for projects<\/a> approved by the Biden administration. Offshore wind is three times more expensive<\/a> than onshore wind, according to the Energy Information Administration, even with the flaws in levelized cost methodology described above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Via the Washington Free Beacon<\/em>, Democrats also accused the Trump administration of increasing consumer costs by forcing the J.H. Campbell coal-fired power plant in western Michigan to remain online<\/a>. Instead of costing consumers millions of dollars, as they had predicted, the plant has been profitable. The coal plant generated $33.7 million in revenue between late May and June 30, earning nearly $5 million in profit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Analysis<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

With election season upon us, Democrats across the country are using rising electricity prices occurring alongside the OBBBA\u2019s passage as a cudgel against Republican opponents. Reality, however, is much more complicated, as much of the increase in electricity prices results from policies enacted during the Biden administration and the increase in demand from AI, not from changes that have yet to take effect. Falsely, Democrats claim that wind and solar\u2019s lower levelized cost of electricity means that bringing more of it onto the grid will lower electricity prices. As IER\u2019s Tom Pyle explains in the Wall Street Journal<\/em><\/a>, \u201cDespite wind and solar growing from under 1% of generation in 2007 to roughly 17% of generation in 2024, retail rates haven\u2019t fallen thanks to system-wide costs for backup power, balancing services and transmission lines. Meanwhile, U.S. states and European countries with aggressive renewable energy policies face significantly higher rates. California\u2019s are among the highest in the country, and Britain\u2019s industrial electricity prices are approximately four times as high as ours.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
