A public hearing is scheduled for tonight in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, where residents can express their views on PPL Electric's proposed rate increase. The Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission will host the hearing in Hearing Room Number-One at the Keystone Building, starting at 6 p.m.
If the proposed rate increase is approved, the average residential customer could see their monthly bill rise by approximately $13. The hearing provides an opportunity for the community to voice their concerns or support for the rate adjustment.
The proposed increase is part of PPL Electric's efforts to address rising operational costs and maintain infrastructure. However, it has drawn mixed reactions from residents, with some expressing concerns over the financial impact on households.
The outcome of the hearing could influence the final decision on whether the rate hike will be implemented. Residents are encouraged to attend and participate in the discussion to ensure their opinions are considered.
