Eastern Shore Power Rates Hiked 10.14 Percent
The Maryland PSC last week allowed Eastern Shore Public Service Company to raise electric rates by 10.14 percent, effective August 1, to yield about 5.19 percent on invested capital. Sen. Harry T. Phoebus, Somerset, protested and sought a 60 day extension, planning to appeal if denied. Joseph Allen, peoples counsel, defended the decision, noting a power pool does not harm consumers and that filings meet PSC standards.
