Nearly all of the electricity on the US's largest power grid comes from natural gas, nuclear reactors and coal.

That means Trump’s strategy of blaming renewable energy for surging electricity costs may have a hard time gaining traction.

Nowhere is that more apparent then on the nation's largest power grid, which stretches from Virginia to Illinois, where the cost of securing wholesale power supplies has been at a record for two straight years.

Despite a campaign pledge by Trump to halve power prices within 12 months of taking office, residential electricity prices have climbed about 10% from January until May and are projected to rise another 5.8% next year.
