宾夕法尼亚州由于创纪录的电力拍卖价格和需求增加而面临更高的电费账单。 Pennsylvania faces higher electric bills due to record power auction prices and increased demand.

宾夕法尼亚州居民今年夏天和明年可能会看到更高的电费账单, Pennsylvania residents may see higher electric bills this summer and next year due to a recent power auction with record-high prices. 其部分原因是热浪的电力需求高,达到14年来的最高点。 This spike is partly due to high electricity demand from heatwaves, reaching 14-year highs. 其他因素包括能源密集型数据中心的增长和在电网增加新发电厂方面的延误。 Other factors include the growth of energy-intensive data centers and delays in adding new power plants to the grid. 和解降低了价格上限,导致物价上涨22%,但明年夏天消费者账单上涨5%。 A settlement lowered the price cap, resulting in a 22% increase in prices but a 5% increase in consumer bills next summer.
