Taking an aggressive position with Pepco, Montgomery County has filed its initial brief with the Maryland Public Service Commission (PSC) strongly opposing the company’s request for a rate increase and the company’s proposed Grid Resiliency Charge, a surcharge passed on to customers that would fund projects to guarantee reliability across the grid during severe weather and other conditions that could threaten the grid.
The County proposes a revenue requirement for Pepco of $6.5 million, a reduction of $54.3 million (89%) from its requested $60.8 million increase in rates.
