CASE NO. 25-0700-E- P
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, 2026.
NOTICE OF FILING AND HEARING
On August 1, 2025, Monongahela Power Company and
The Potomac Edison Company (collectively
Companies) filed an application for review and approval
of a Renewable Electricity Surcharge reconciliation and
true-up to establish revised surcharge rates for the
Companies proposed to be effective on January 1,
2026. The review period is July 1, 2024 through June
30, 2025, and the new rate period is calendar year
2026. The Companies proposed a $204,460 increase in
the solar surcharge rate effective on January 1, 2026.
The requested increase was calculated by taking the
expenses and return for the review period compared to
the surcharge revenues, and calculating an under
recovery of $663,321 as of June 30, 2025. The forecast
for 2026 of expenses, return, and revenues are a
projected $458,861 over-recovery.
The proposed solar surcharge rate would increase a
monthly bill for an average residential customer using
1,000 kilowatt hours by $0.03 from $137.43 to $137.46,
or 0.02 percent.
The Commission will conduct an evidentiary hearing on
November 18, 2025, scheduled to begin immediately
