Working families are already stretched thin, cutting back on groceries and essentials just to keep their lights on.<\/p>\n<p>This reality sparked unprecedented action in Congress. On December 10, Congressman <b>Josh Riley<\/b> (D-NY-19) and Congressman <b>Jeff Van Drew<\/b> (R-NJ-02) crossed party lines to introduce sweeping legislation. The move signals real frustration on both sides of the political aisle about how utility companies operate.<\/p>\n<h2>How the New Legislation Works<\/h2>\n<p>The <b>No Bonuses for Utility Executives Act<\/b> takes a direct approach. If a utility company raises rates faster than inflation, its executives cannot receive bonuses of any kind\u2014period. It&#8217;s designed to align executive interests with customer wellbeing.<\/p>\n<p>When rate increases stay at or below inflation, bonuses are allowed but capped at <b>25% of median compensation<\/b> earned by non-executive workers. The bill also establishes enforcement mechanisms, requiring utilities to report to the <b>Federal Energy Regulatory Commission<\/b> within one week of their fiscal year ending, with FERC having 30 days to determine compliance.<\/p>\n<table style='width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;margin:20px 0'>\n<tr style='background:#f4f4f4'>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd;font-weight:bold'>Provision<\/td>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd;font-weight:bold'>Details<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'>Rate Hike Above Inflation<\/td>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'>No bonuses allowed for any executives<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style='background:#f9f9f9'>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'>Rate Hikes At or Below Inflation<\/td>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'>Bonuses capped at 25% of median employee pay<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'>Penalty for Violations<\/td>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'>Entire bonus pool forfeited to IRS, returned to customers as stimulus payments<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style='background:#f9f9f9'>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'>Coverage<\/td>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'>Foreign-owned state-regulated electric utilities, effective January 1, 2025<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<h2>Why This Legislation Matters Right Now<\/h2>\n<p>The timing of this proposal is significant. <b>NYSEG<\/b> and its parent company <b>Avangrid<\/b> haven&#8217;t been transparent about executive compensation while seeking massive rate increases. Last year, <b>Avangrid&#8217;s CEO received $10.7 million<\/b> in compensation while families struggled.<\/p>\n<p>Congressman Riley emphasized the absurdity of the current system. &#8220;Folks are cutting back on everything from school clothes just to keep the lights on. Meanwhile, utility monopolies are rewarding their CEOs with millions of dollars per year. My bill stops utility monopolies from rewarding corporate executives who are ripping us off.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2>NYSEG Responds to the Challenge<\/h2>\n<p>The utility company pushed back hard against Riley&#8217;s proposal. <b>Shelby Cohen<\/b>, NYSEG&#8217;s Director of New York Communications, claimed the legislation doesn&#8217;t address &#8220;the real drivers of utility bill increases.&#8221; <b>NYSEG<\/b> argues that approximately <b>65% of customer bills<\/b> represent pass-through costs for energy supply and statewide programs, not the company&#8217;s own charges.<\/p>\n<p>The company also contends that delivery rates fund necessary grid modernization and infrastructure upgrades. <b>NYSEG<\/b> maintains that the bill &#8220;cherry picks facts for political points&#8221; rather than addressing underlying cost pressures including inflation and unregulated supply prices.<\/p>\n<h2>What Happens Next with This Bipartisan Bill?<\/h2>\n<p>The legislation faces an uncertain path through Congress. Despite bipartisan sponsorship, utility companies have significant lobbying resources to fight restrictions on executive pay. However, the level of public opposition to rate hikes provides momentum for reform advocates.<\/p>\n<p>Riley built this proposal on his earlier <b>Keep the Lights Local Act<\/b>, part of a broader push to lower utility costs and challenge utility monopolies. The fact that a Republican from New Jersey joined forces with a Democrat from New York demonstrates this isn&#8217;t a partisan issue\u2014families on both sides are suffering under rising utility bills.<\/p>\n<h3>Sources<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Representative Josh Riley&#8217;s Office<\/b> &#8211;
