Public Input Sought on Pepco’s Rate Application
The Public Service Commission of the District of Columbia (Commission) seeks input on the rate application submitted by the Potomac Electric Power Company (Pepco) requesting authority to increase existing distribution service rates and charges for electric service in the District of Columbia. Pepco seeks a revenue rate increase of $51.75 million. Pepco is the sole distributor of electric power to homes and businesses in the District; hence the Commission will set Pepco’s distribution service rates in this rate case and not the cost of electricity itself.
The Commission will convene four (4) community hearings at the following locations on the specified dates:
