Public pressure from Corry area leaders and utilities officials helped push the Pennsylvania Electric Co to a 50 percent cut in its proposed rate hike. The Public Utilities Commission approved an increase of about five cents a day for residential bills, far short of the $36.5 million request. Penelec serves 460,000 customers across 33 western Pennsylvania counties. Commissioner Louis J Carter dissented, and Penelec President IV. Gwynne Dodson lamented the decision, urging recognition of real costs and deferred taxes as essential to reliable service and future plant construction.
