Appalachian Power seeks surcharge in West Virginia for plant upgrades
Appalachian Power Co says differing state anti pollution and rate rules justify a surcharge to fund $30.5 million in electrostatic precipitator upgrades at Philip Sporn Plant units 1 and 3 in Mason County West Virginia. The company asks WV PSC to set a surcharge of .875 mills per kWh, impacting WV retail sales, while Ohio Power owns other units. Authorities note compliance costs and prior court actions frame the decision.
