A Rate Case Is Deciding Your Bill. Put Your Own Costs on the Record

Turn a rate case into a docket-ready ratepayer comment built from the household's own bill history. It runs locally in this browser and sends nothing.

LIMIT FIRST: This is a documentation and planning aid, not legal, energy or benefits advice. It cannot stop a shutoff by itself, compel a commission decision, or certify eligibility.

Cost and free path

Cost: Free: one complete run in this browser, no account. Optional $4 one-time unlock allows unlimited runs of this tool on this browser. The free path and safety guidance never require payment.

Rule status (state route): structural: state commissions set rates through dockets that accept written ratepayer comments; data-centre large-load cost allocation is now a rate-case subject in several states, and per-state estimates of the residential share conflict by design, so a household number is the honest contribution. Reviewed 2026-10-03 against NARUC’s consumer-participation guidance.

Automated decision this documents: utility cost-allocation filings and large-load tariffs decided in commission dockets

Free path, in order (no cost):

  1. Your state public utility commission's consumer division (comment channel and case docket)
  2. Your state's utility consumer advocate or public counsel office
  3. 211 — local energy assistance while a case is pending (211.org)

What this cannot do: It cannot stop a shutoff by itself, compel a commission decision, or certify eligibility.

BASIS / NOT A VERDICT

This tool reduces uncertainty; it does not replace a bank's fraud department, a mental-health professional, legal advice, a school privacy contact, or qualified technical help, and it cannot prove that a call, message, account, decision, or AI system is safe.
