MONONGAHELA POWER
COMPANY and
THE POTOMAC EDISON
COMPANY
Application for Review, Reconciliation, and Establishment of new Renewable Electricity Surcharge Rates Proposed to be effective January 1, 2025.
NOTICE OF FILING
AND HEARING
On August 30, 2024, Monongahela Power Company and The Potomac Edison Company filed an application for review and approval of a Renewable Electricity Surcharge (RES) to establish revised surcharge rates for the Companies. The filing requested that the Commission authorize the increased rates to be effective on January 1, 2025. The review period is January 1, 2024 through June 30, 2024, and the new rate period is calendar year 2025. The Companies proposed a $231,117 increase in the solar surcharge rates. The requested increase included recovery of a $186,611 under-recovery during the review period, which was the first six months of 2024. The Companies also projected a $44,506 additional increment above present rates to recover 2025 revenue requirements.
The proposed solar surcharge rate will increase a monthly bill for an average residential customer using 1,000 kilowatts hours (Kwhs) by $0.06 from $137.58 to $137.64, or less than a one-tenth of one percent.
The Commission will conduct an evidentiary hearing on December 5, 2024, immediately following the hearing in Case No. 24-0671-E-P scheduled to begin at 9:30 a.m. on that same day, in the Howard M.
