AEP GETS 12.1% INCREASE, NOT 43%

(10/02/2009)

West Virginia's Public Service Commission has granted Appalachian Power and Wheeling Power a 12.1 percent rate increase. The new rate takes effect Thursday and covers the first year of what is expected to be four annual increases. The utilities, both subsidiaries of Ohio-based American Electric Power, originally wanted a 43 percent rate increase. The PSC says AEP will take in $124.7 million in new revenue as a result of the increase.
