In Lieu Of A Civil Penalty, PA PUC Modifies The Billing Settlement Requiring PPL To Make A $1,000,000 Donation To Its Hardship Fund
From the Order:
“With respect to the appropriate amount of a civil penalty, while we understand that a Settlement is a compromise between parties, we believe that given the extraordinary nature of this incident and the disproportionate impact on financially distressed customers, the Settlement should be modified as outlined above. In lieu of a civil penalty, we modify the Settlement to require PPL to make a $1,000,000 donation to its Hardship Fund, Operation Help, with this donation not being passed through as an additional charge to PPL’s customers in Pennsylvania. We find this modification will help PPL customers impacted by the bill issues in this matter, and while not imposing a civil penalty, creates an outcome that is in the public interest.”
