FirstEnergy told the WV Public Service Commission that Mon Power and Potomac Edison intend to file a new base-rate case within 30 days. The filing will detail the proposed increase. The company’s last request (May 2023) sought about a 15% increase, but regulators approved roughly an 8% hike (about .94/month). The new filing may also include a plan to build a 1,200‑MW natural gas plant. We’ll keep local residents updated as details are released.
