On March 5, the District of Columbia Court of Appeals vacated the DCPSC’s approval of Pepco’s 2024-2026 rate plan, which authorized a $123.4 million rate increase over two years.

The court agreed with the Office of People’s Counsel that the DCPSC erred in merely holding a legislative-style hearing when material facts were in dispute, and it remanded the case for the statutorily required evidentiary, trial-type hearing.

The DCPSC is currently considering motions to revert and refund rates in Docket No. FC1176.
