People's Counsel challenges Potomac Edison's rate hike request
The Maryland Office of People's Counsel urges the Public Service Commission to reject Potomac Edison's proposed 4.44 million to 4.64 million rate increase, arguing existing rates already offer a reasonable opportunity to earn the authorized return. If disagreed, PE should be allowed only 3.02 million, with critics calling PE's power sale forecasts overly conservative. The PSC commissioners are expected to issue a ruling by March 1.
