(Washington, DC) – Today, Pepco filed for a rate increase with the Public Service Commission of the District of Columbia (PSC). Interim Communications Director Christina Harper released the following statement:
The Public Service Commission is charged with evaluating utility rate increases. They should limit the Pepco/Exelon request to the mere requirements of the law. And they must apply the $25.4 million that Mayor Bowser negotiated, and they redirected, toward shielding DC residential ratepayers from any increase for 3 years. To do otherwise would be to the detriment of DC residents.
