President-elect Donald J. Trump repeatedly promised voters that he would cut energy and electricity prices in half within 18 months of taking office.
The emerging plan is a repackaging of Mr. Trump’s energy policy.
Advisers think Mr. Trump can lower prices by boosting oil and gas production, which is already at record levels in the United States.
But energy industry experts noted that a president has limited tools to influence how much Americans pay at the pump, and even less leverage when it comes to electricity prices.
More than a dozen experts said Mr. Trump’s strategy might succeed in lowering prices, but not enough to meet his goal.
