Penn Power asks delay on rate increase ruling
Penn Power seeks to delay a $70.9 million rate hike decision by the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission until the Perry Unit No 1 reactor is online or by December. Officials cite plant operating capacity and recent changes lowering the request to $63.9 million after a reevaluation tied to electricity sales to Potomac Electric. The case timeline remains uncertain, with a nonbinding PUC vote hinting at a smaller increase but not addressing Perry Unit costs.
