Shift in Rural Electrification Order Is Made
The Public Service Commission superseded General Order 27 the Rural Electrification Order. It lays out a method for extending electric service to rural areas with farmer surveys and a required revenue contribution before extension. The company bears extension costs while a monthly minimum charge may be applied, possibly reduced by labor or materials contributed by applicants. The change stems from months of work by a state agricultural council committee and the Pennsylvania Electric Association.
