Pennsylvania Power & Light Company’s manager of
rates and market research, Andy Baldwin, answers
another question from the utility’s consumers.
QUESTION
Will you
seek a rate
Increase
soon?
ANSWER
We will be applying for a rate increase in a very short time. The
need for any increase is certain to be questioned by our customers
since our performance during the 1960 s indicated that we were able
to offset rising costs through improved performance. Today, however,
costs for everything are increasing faster than we are able to offset
them. We are not granted rate increases by the Pennsylvania Public
Utility Commission just because we thinKwe need one. It is necessary
for us to establish the need, based on our costs over a prior one-year
period. In effect, our rates are based on outdated costs. These costs
are scrutinized very closely by the commission and a permanent rate
increase is granted only after a series of public hearings and after
determining it’s necessary to insure that you, our customer, continue
to get reliable electric service.

study on home heating describes how
virtually all oil-fired furnaces allow stack
draft to rob precious chamber heat
between firing cycles This translates
into decreased thermal efficiency that
robs up to 30-percent and more in fuel
dollars Further, this should not have to
happen'
