Rate Hikes Sought To Offset Strike Effects
Monongahela Power Co and Potomac Edison officials testified that higher rates are needed to cover extra costs from the coal strike. They are buying more expensive power to avoid depleting coal stockpiles. The Public Service Commission will decide on the rate hike. Maryland and Virginia proposals were rejected in prior cases. A temporary 20 percent increase could raise homeowner bills by about $6.18 monthly, with $6.4 million more in revenue per month.

Companies Eye Suffolk Coal Pier Plan At Hampton Roads
Suffolk hosts a mixed response to a private plan for a $225 million coal terminal, with Parsons Brinckerhoff surveying 10 plus coal firms across Virginia West Virginia and Kentucky. Some firms show definite interest while others remain ambivalent due to commitments to a Portsmouth state pier. The study will compare three sites including Suffolk, Portsmouth and St Juliens Creek. The project could mean 100 to 125 jobs and about 2.2 million dollars in annual Suffolk taxes once built.
