CFU to raise gas bills by roughly $45 a month for next year after record cold weather
CEDAR FALLS, Iowa (KWWL) Cedar Falls Utilities residential customers will see on average an increase of about $45 a month on their gas bill for the next year after an unprecedented stretch of cold weather in February.
The CFU Board voted Monday to spread the utility bill impact over a 12 month period in an effort to ease the burden for customers.
Residential electric bills will see a roughly $75 increase combined over the next two months, about $55 in March and $20 in April. The increases are to recoup large natural gas and electric bills CFU paid during February.
For a period of time, fossil fuel producers would be able to earn partial credits under the standard by lowering their carbon intensity, but this would eventually be phased out.
The legislation also aims to tackle emissions from the transportation sector through measures including authorizing $500 million to deploy electric vehicle equipment such as charging stations and authorizing $2.5 billion annually to transition the country’s school bus fleet to zero-emission vehicles.
It would additionally set energy efficiency targets and standards for buildings and seek to provide more funding for energy efficiency in schools, homes, nonprofits and infrastructure.

The legislation, which would in total authorize $565 billion over 10 years, also has an overarching requirement that 40 percent of funds made available through it would benefit communities that have faced environmental inequality.
