From the Commission (PUC) Press Release:

“The Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission (PUC) voted to suspend and investigate a proposed rate increase by Pike County Light & Power (PCL&P) for natural gas distribution service in portions of Pike County.

The Commission voted 5-0 to investigate PCL&P’s proposal to increase its annual operating revenues for natural gas distribution service by approximately $905,900 (35.8%).  Under the proposal, the average bill for a residential customer using 80 Ccf per month would increase from $135.78 to $196.08 per month (44.4%). 

The rate increase request is suspended and will be assigned to the Office of Administrative Law Judge for evidentiary hearings and the issuance of recommended decisions or settlements.”
