Penn Power lowers electric rates after four year pledge
Penn Power fulfills a four year promise by cutting residential rates with a combined effect from rate adjustments, tax surcharge, and energy cost rate. A typical 700 kilowatt hour monthly bill will drop about 15.78, with total residential savings around 16.33 after all changes take effect. The changes address Perry Nuclear Plant costs and reflect adjustments to the state tax surcharge and energy cost rate, with precise timing tied to meter reads in April May and June.
