energy tax
Power consumption charge
An energy tax is a tax on the production or consumption of energy—typically fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas.
Governments use energy taxes to raise revenue, discourage carbon emissions, or promote conservation: The proposed energy tax would add fifteen cents per gallon.
The term sometimes appears in broader discussions of carbon pricing and environmental policy.
