Newport Electric Seeks Rate Increase Across Customer Classes
The Newport Electric Corp filed new rate schedules with the state Public Utilities Commission proposing about a 6.9 percent revenue increase. The average household would pay about 90 cents more monthly, with charges applied to all customer classes except street and area lighting. Company officials say rising fuel costs, taxes, wages, and borrowing costs drive the need, and that residential bills would still be below levels from 20 years ago after adjustments.
