In most if not all US States, the cost of electricity is based on proposals from electric companies to a State commission tasked with the duty to judge whether any increases in electricity rates can be raised or even lowered. In no State can a landlord raise the cost of electricity to tenants unless a State commission has allowed the electric company to raise the rates charged to everyone. There might be exceptions to electric rates charged to a State government, however that is unlikely.
