Penelec Raises Rates
Just as you may be getting used to higher gas bills, it looks like your electric bill will be going up too.
The Public Utilities Commission issued a ruling Thursday allowing Penelec to increase rates by 4.6%.
The increase is far less than the 15 percent increase Penelec`s parent company, First Energy, had requested.
However, the average customer`s bill will go up about 6 dollars a month.
Penelec had been under a 20 year old rate cap that froze electric rates until 2010.
