RICHMOND — The State Corporation Commission (SCC) has determined that an agreement to settle a rate increase request by Allegheny Power in Virginia is a “fair and reasonable” resolution of the issues, consistent with the laws and facts governing the case, and therefore should be accepted, according to an announcement made Wednesday, Nov. 26, 2008.

The State Corporation Commission (SCC) announced on Monday, Nov. 17, that it has approved a reduced base rate increase for Appalachian Power Company (APCo) that will allow the company to increase its annual operating revenue by $168 million. The amount is $40 million less than what the company requested and has been charging customers on an interim basis since late October.
