Thurmont Seeks PSC Rate Cut for Light Company
Thurmont officials petitioned the Public Service Commission to reduce domestic and commercial electric rates for Thurmont Municipal Light Company. The request aims to save about 34000 annually based on last year’s consumption, aligning town rates with Potomac Edison. Changes would take effect after PSC approval, likely in time for April billing, with minor residential impact and larger savings for industrial users. Thurmont touts reliability during the March snow blackout as evidence of its municipal system.
