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
