Now electricity prices are increasing in addition to all non-coiled demand from the COVID-19 Pandemie, when the global economic delay and pressure from policy makers kept a lid on accounts of utilities.
“I think if we would repeat this analysis for next year, there would probably be a bit of an increase this year, but the data I look, do not suggest a really important increase in the historical context,” said Geoffrey Blanford, the main author of the Epri report.
But there is not just one story that unfolds throughout the country.
The US has a particularly chaotic energy system. How many people pay to light their houses, stay warm and make ends meet, varies a lot from state to state and even from neighbors. Texas households, for example, spend the tendency to spend a larger part of their budgets on turning their pick -up trucks, while families in Massachusetts release a larger part to stay warm.
So no – we are not in an energy crisis, but it is unlikely that your power accounts will come down soon. However, there is good news: in the coming years Americans are actually ready to spend a smaller part of their incomes in energy, because technology makes it more cost -effective to leave fossil fuels.
“In our future -oriented scenarios is one of the most important factors for change electrification, in particular light vehicles,” said Blanford. “This tends to actually reduce the energy news in the course of time in real terms per household, even if you spend more on electricity.” Although The sale of electric cars is delayed In the US they still roll in more driveways. And as houses and devices become more efficient, that will also help to lower energy bills. Based on current trends, the average American household energy news will shrink by 36 percent by state level, with state level falling somewhere between 10 to 50 percent, according to the report.
