"In the short term, we need to support the millions of families across the country who are struggling to keep up with monthly utility payments," said Mark Wolfe, executive director of NEADA.
The NEADA estimates that families using electricity will see the highest increase in their bills at 13.6%, totaling an average of $1,208 this winter.
Expected colder weather in the Northeast and Midwest is causing a 10.5% increase in home heating expenses this winter over the previous year.
Western states may face the highest price hike of 22.8% due to factors like grid maintenance costs and previous fire-related impacts.
