PSC Rules On Resale Of Power In Coal Regions
Charleston June 6 tentative rules proposed by the Public Service Commission aim to curb coal company and industrial power resellers from charging higher retail rates to residents than those paid by regular utility customers. Chief Engineer Earle H. Morris noted uncertainty on how many consumers will benefit, as mining firms are not PSC regulated. The rule allows resale only if the buyer distributes electricity as a public utility, but permits mining and industrial resale to occupants at rates no higher than retail utility rates. The measure is part of a broader utility governance revision sparked by a November investigation, with prior discussions held with electric power representatives.
