Stop Rate Hikes by Energy Monopolies

We cannot afford higher utility rates. Our state needs competition to keep prices down. Electricity costs for homeowners have already increased by 8.9% last year.

We simply can’t afford to pass legislation granting some utility companies a right of first refusal (ROFR) on electric transmission projects. Electricity customers have already seen their rates increase by 8.9% in the past year. With hundreds of millions, if not billions of dollars in new transmission projects in our region in the coming years, competition to develop these lines will lower costs, improve innovation and support reliability. Missouri must maintain the right to competition for these projects and not turn over its rights to monopoly utilities.

Please reject ROFR Proposals in the Show-Me State!
