Utilities seek rate hikes as energy costs rise nationwide
The Washington Gas & Light Co seeks about 6.7 percent higher rates to offset a 6 percent drop in demand and a $16.6 million revenue shortfall in 1973. Consolidated Edison plans about 6.7 percent increases after an earlier $1.46 added to January bills, while Southern California Edison and Wisconsin Electric propose adjustments to cover fuel costs and maintain profits. Energy use fell roughly 1 percent in early 1974, influenced by mild weather, conservation, and daylight saving time.
