Appalachian Power today submitted its triennial rate review application to the Virginia State Corporation Commission. As part of the review, the company requested to increase rates by approximately $212 million, or 16 percent, to continue to provide customers with safe and reliable electric service. If approved as requested, residential customers using 1,000 kilowatt hours (kwh) a month will see a net increase in their monthly bill of approximately $20. Any increase approved by the SCC will not take effect until January 2024.
