Electric bills expected to rise
Electricity forecast for 2009 is up sharply from last month; increase in price of natural gas a factor.
NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Americans may face dramatically higher electric bills next year, according to a government report released Tuesday.
The U.S. Energy Information Administration forecast that electricity prices will climb an average of 9.8% in 2009. Only a month ago, the agency was forecasting a 3.6% increase for next year.
