Ohio Edison seeks rate hikes in Rittman and 88 towns
Ohio Edison announces a plan to raise residential and commercial electric rates in Rittman and 88 other communities, citing spiraling prices and higher costs for environmental protection. The move would lift revenue about 25 percent, equating to roughly 10 to 15 cents more per day for the average customer. Massillon Division Manager R E Dawson argues higher electric revenues are needed to maintain an adequate and reliable power supply, noting a 70 percent rise in interest on borrowed funds and a 40 percent jump in operating expenses over two years. The Mansfield Power Plant project, undertaken with Ohio Edison and Pennsylvania Power along with three other utilities, is cited as part of the environmental effort.
