Allegheny Energy customers could see a new rate increase.
Rates could go up by a combined $118 million annually, the request is now before the state Public Service Commission.
If approved, the hike will mean a $7.65 increase for a residential customer who uses 1,000 kilowatt hours a month.
The company had sought a $141 million increase, that would have hiked monthly bills by more than $9.
Allegheny says fuel and purchased power costs have prompted the rate increase, arguing it is far below the national average.
