Compromise Sets $1.25 Minimum Light Charge in 3-2 ruling
The New York Public Service Commission, in a 3-2 decision, allows Rockland Light & Power to raise suburban minimum a month to $1.25 and imposes a new tariff of 11 cents per kilowatt hour, effective one year. The ruling, opposed by two commissioners, preserves a lower rate than the company sought and notes urban suburban cost differences.
