Potomac Edison seeks 5.1% cut in fuel rates in Md PSC filing
Potomac Edison asks the Maryland Public Service Commission for a 5.1 percent reduction in fuel rates, with a total potential drop of 11.7 percent when combined with another case. Attorney Robert Murdock cites brisk power sales to neighboring utilities and APS support as reasons. The program, described as volatile, may continue through 1983, though coal prices rise. The sale of PE electricity through the PJM Interconnection Pool benefits both PE and other utilities while easing customer bills.
