Parties File Comments In Office Of People’s Counsel’s Petition For Emergency Order To Protect Utility Customers From Extreme Heat
OPC requested that the Commission enter an emergency order that protects residential utility consumers during the expected record-breaking summer 2024 heat. OPC requested that the Commission issue an order prohibiting utility companies from shutting off service between now and September 15, 2024, or, in the alternative, that requires any shut offs to be accompanied by an affidavit affirming that the shut off does not pose a threat to health or safety. In addition, OPC requested that heat index, in addition to temperature, be incorporated into restrictions on terminations, and that the Commission require the utility to temporarily waive fees and deposits for customers who wish to reconnect between now and September 15, 2024.
Comments were filed by Hagerstown Light Department, Columbia Gas, Washington Gas Light, Potomac Edison, Southern Maryland Electric Coop and Maryland Energy Advocates Coalition.
