Less than a month after denying Appalachian Power Co.âs request to raise its base rates, state regulators will reconsider their decision.
The State Corporation Commission on Tuesday suspended its final order â which turned down Appalachianâs bid for an increase that would have cost an average residential customer an extra $10 a month â until further notice.
In a brief order without explanation, the SCC granted petitions to reconsider filed by two parties on opposite sides: Appalachian, which says it needs more revenue to cover the costs of providing electricity to about 500,000 customers in Western Virginia, and the state attorney generalâs office, which has called the accounting practices behind the request âunconscionable.â
