PUC OKs Rate Cap Removal Consumer Education Plans for 4 Companies

The Public Utility Commission this week gave final approval of consumer-education plans related to electric rate cap removal and price increase mitigation for West Penn Power Company, Citizens' Electric Company, Wellsboro Electric Company, and PPL Electric Utilities Corporation.

The plans were required to include eight specific Energy Education Standards and propose appropriate budget levels and cost recovery mechanism. The intention is to prepare Pennsylvanians for removal of electric rate caps and to make informed decisions regarding their own levels of electric use.

Each plan is posted to the PUC's website for review.
