Power costs to rise as fuel boosts rates
Washington AP reports utilities push higher charges to cover surging fuel costs and energy saving cutbacks. At least two major power firms sought about 45 million dollars in rate increases this period, with Edison Electric Institute warning further hikes are coming. Consolidated Edison requests nearly 30 percent rate growth over two years plus a conservation adjustment of 6.67 percent. Los Angeles Department of Water and Power plans at least a 1 percent rise to offset a 45 million revenue shortfall from energy saving efforts. Pacific Gas & Electric seeks 3.6 million dollars more, boosting a typical household bill about 65 cents monthly. Tennessee Valley Authority asks for 14 percent homeowner increases over two years due to coal price jumps.
