The West Virginia Public Service Commission is allowing more than $21 million in rate increases for around 520,000 power customers in the Mountain State during 2012.
The hikes allow Monongahela Power and Potomac Edison to recoup spending on fuel, transmission and purchased power costs.
The two utilities provide electricity in 37 of West Virginia's 55 counties.
The typical monthly residential bill will increase about $3.36 per 1,000 kilowatt hours consumed.
The state Public Service Commission announced the increase Friday |
