The State Corporation Commission invites comment from the public on an application by Appalachian Power Company for a triennial review of the company’s rates, terms and conditions for the provision of generation, distribution and transmission services.
The company requests an increase in its annual revenue requirement of $65 million, a five percent increase in overall revenues. The company states that the requested revenue requirement would result in an increase in residential rates of 6.5 percent over the rates in effect as of March 31, 2020, resulting in a monthly bill of $120.40 for a residential customer using 1,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity.
