The Energy Consumer Protection Act of 2026 aims to strengthen the enforcement of regulations related to electricity and natural gas markets. Its main purpose is to enhance consumer protection by ensuring that companies operating in these sectors adhere to fair practices and do not engage in fraudulent activities. One of the key provisions of this legislation is the ability for the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to impose prohibitions or suspensions on individuals or companies that violate specific sections of the Federal Power Act and the Natural Gas Act.
