CHARGING too much? No, because the government doesn't set prices. Electricity in the US is generated by the burning of fossil fuels, primarily oil. Oil prices are set by OPEC, not by the US Government. The energy industry is far from a free and open market, but there really isn't any way that you can blame the US Gov't for the prices... If anything I blame the US Gov't for not promoting private investment in alternate fuel sources as a matter of national security.

Is it changing or charging?
Changing - ofcourse. if they revise the electricity rate to higher rate, people may object and the effect will reflect in the next election.
Charging - It varies from state to state. I heard that, some states providing free electricity to the staff of EB and they collect Tax only. Where the Govt. could charge this kind of free electricities. Other public only paid more.

Depends upon where you are. In the US the government doesn't charge anything for electricity.

No Govt is actually subsidising to reduce the charges.
