Virginia to Open Probe of Cash Rebates by Utilities
The Virginia State Corporation Commission will start an investigation Monday into cash rebates by electric and gas utilities for installations. The move follows a 1966 General Assembly bill to ban rebates, which was rewritten to authorize only an SCC inquiry in the public interest. Oil jobbers pushed the bill after utilities boosted rebates to builders for electric appliance and heater installations.
