CASE NO. 25-0700-E-P
MONONGAHELA POWER COMPANY and THE POTOMAC EDISON COMPANY
Application for Review, Reconciliation and Establishment of new Renewable Electricity Surcharge Rates Proposed to be Effective January 1, 2026.
NOTICE OF FILING AND HEARING
On August 1, 2025, Monongahela Power Company and The Potomac Edison Company (collectively Companies) filed an application for review and approval of a Renewable Electricity Surcharge reconciliation and true-up to establish revised surcharge rates for the Companies proposed to be effective on January 1, 2026. The review period is July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2025, and the new rate period is calendar year 2026. The Companies proposed a $204,460 increase in the solar surcharge rate effective on January 1, 2026. The requested increase was calculated by taking the expenses and return for the review period compared to the surcharge revenues, and calculating an under recovery of $663,321 as of June 30, 2025. The forecast for 2026 of expenses, return, and revenues are a projected $458,861 over-recovery.
The proposed solar surcharge rate would increase a monthly bill for an average residential customer using 1,000 kilowatt hours by $0.03 from $137.43 to $137.46, or 0.02 percent.
The Commission will conduct an evidentiary hearing on November 18, 2025, scheduled to begin immediately after the evidentiary hearing in Case No. 25-0698-E-P, in the Howard M.
