AEP is seeking another rate increase for West Virginians despite their electric rates already having more than doubled in the past 15 years. The rate increases are making it increasingly difficult for families, small businesses, churches, and schools to afford their electric bills.
We can’t let this happen without a fight. It only takes a few minutes to make your voice heard. Take action here!
Under the proposal, residential customers using 1,000 kWh per month would see an increase of $23.74 per month—a 13.5% hike. Considering the average residential customer in West Virginia uses 1,123 kWh, the actual impact could be even greater.
In addition, the proposal makes solar far less affordable for aspiring solar panel owners, slashing the “net metering” credit for excess energy produced, by about two-thirds.
Take 2 minutes to write a letter to the PSC asking them to say NO to these harmful changes and say YES to helping us reduce our energy bills.
