NOTICE OF FILING AND HEARING

On August 25, 2022, Monongahela Power Company

Companies) requested that the Commission initiate its
annual review of Expanded Net Energy Costs (ENEC),
including a review of actual costs and recoveries for the
review period of July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2022,
and to establish new rates to go into effect on January
1, 2023. The Companies request that the Commission
approve rates that will result in a projected total annual
revenue of $183,796,693. This amount consists of a
deferred ENEC under-recovery balance of
$144,861,585 as of June 30, 2022, and a projected
$27,338,472 under-recovery for the 2023 forecasted
rate effective period. The proposed increase also
includes continued recovery of boiler modernization
capital costs for MATS/CSAPR compliance in the
amount of an $11,596,636 revenue requirement for
2023. In support of the rate request, the Companies
filed direct testimony from five witnesses.

The proposed ENEC rates represent a 12.2% increase
in total rates with an impact to the average residential
customer using 1,000 kWhs per month being an
