PUC Suspends Met-Ed Rate Hike Over Nuclear Plant Costs
The Public Utility Commission halted a proposed 79 million rate increase for Metrolitan Edison Co. The plan, sent to an administrative law judge, would raise residential bills by 33 60 dollars monthly for non heater users and by 10 12 dollars for heater users and electric heat. Met Ed says some rise is offset by cheaper nuclear power and energy adjustment clause adjustments tied to the Three Mile Island plant.
