In addition to mailed comments, the public is encouraged to use the Commission’s e-file system at www.psc.state.md.us/efile to provide comments in electronic form.
IF PEPCO IS SEEKING RATE INCREASES FOR “INFRASTRUCTURE & REPAIRS” … THEN THERE SHOULD BE NO INCREASE IN THE YEARLY DIVIDENDS PAID OUT TO THEIR STOCKHOLDERS … CORRECT ?
The previous PSC Members allowed PEPCO, before it’s purchase by ENRON, to eliminate the meter readings from the monthly bills. Who ever heard of that re: any metered utility?
That is the whole concept of having a meter.
We are getting “the shaft,” by the PSC.
