A letter from our president: How we're working to lower electric bill increases

Next week, the Public Service Commission of West Virginia (PSC) will discuss our request to review base rates for customers, our first such request since 2019.

To lessen the impact on your bill, we have proposed an approach known as securitization, which could reduce the potential bill increase from $21 to approximately $6 for a residential customer using 1,000 kilowatt-hours (kWh) per month.
