CASE NO. 25-0772-E- ENEC
MONONGAHELA POWER COMPANY and THE
POTOMAC
EDISON COMPANY
Petition and General Investigation to determine
reasonable rates and charges on and after January 1,
2026.
NOTICE OF FILING AND HEARING
On August 29, 2025, the Companies filed their annual
review of and updates to the 2025 ENEC. The review
period for this proceeding is July 1, 2023 through June
30, 2025, and the forecast year and new rate period is
calendar year 2026. The Companies propose a
$14,065,752 increase in ENEC rates which is a 0.8
percent overall increase in current total rates, proposed
to be effective on January 1, 2026. This amount is
comprised of an actual $71,033,469 under-recovery
balance as of June 30, 2025 and a projected
$56,967,717 over-recovery for the 2026 rate-effective
forecast period. The Companies stated the increase is
due mainly to collection of the remaining under
collection balance, which is partially offset by forecasted
changes in coal, reagents, and purchased power costs.
The impact to the average residential customer using
1,000 kilowatt hours (kWhs) per month is a decrease in
the monthly bill of $0.12 from $137.43 to $137.31 or a
0.1 percent decrease.
This matter is scheduled for an evidentiary hearing on
December 15, 2025. The hearing will begin at 9:30 a.m.
