Trump's 18-Month Deadline To Cut Electricity Prices in Half Has Arrived. Rates Are Up 18%.

Donald Trump pledged on the campaign trail that he would slash electricity prices in half within 18 months of returning to the White House. That self-imposed deadline is today, and—as with many of the president's promises—he appears to have fallen short of his goal.

From Trump's inauguration in January 2025 to April 2026, the most recent month for which government data are available, residential electricity rates have risen by an eye-watering 18 percent. From April 2025 to April 2026, rates jumped by 7.3 percent, or about twice the rate of inflation, according to the Energy Information Administration.

Unfortunately, for many consumers, there is not much relief in sight.

Last week, PJM Interconnection, the nation's largest grid operator, announced the results of its annual capacity auction, which determined the cost to procure power in the region for the 2028–2029 delivery year. The cost of the latest auction hit $16.4 billion, tying the previous auction's record-high price and all but locking customers into historically high rates.

Bit off context, but it totally shocked me to learn that in the US many, if not most, companies equate sickness with holiday and lump it all together.

I've never experienced this; my sick and vacation days were always separate. I've been retired for almost ten years so maybe I'm behind the times.
