Legal Notice

NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC OF A PROPOSED TEMPORARY INCREASE IN RATES BY THE POTOMAC EDISON

COMPANY

Notice is hereby given to the public that The Potomac Edison Company, on January 10, 1977, filed with the State Corporation Commission of Virginia an application requesting authority to place in effect for electric service provided on and after March 1, 1977, a temporary surcharge, to remain in effect until such time as a complete investigation can be conducted, and a public bearing held, to determine the need for a permanent rate increase, if any. The temporary surcharge proposed by the Company, .if allowed to become effective, would result in a 4.274 percent surcharge on existing rate schedule charges except special schedules for space beating and water heating. The temporary surcharge for space heating and water beating rates, if allowed to become effective, would result in an 8.548 percent surcharge on those existing rates. The surcharge rates would apply to basic rates, excluding any charges resulting from the fuel adjustment clause. Company states that this surcharge would produce additional gross revenues of $1,092,574 on an annual basis. Such additional revenues would be separately accounted for on Potomac Edison’s books and records in order that Company could refund any amounts, together with interest, found excessive after a full investigation and public hearing to determine its needs for a permanent rate increase.
