PUC to investigate PPL rate increase request
Stacy Wescoe//October 24, 2025//
The Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission said it has voted to suspend and investigate a proposed rate increase by PPL Electric Utilities Corporation.
The PUC will investigate PPL’s proposed rate increase, which was filed on Sept. 30, and seeks an annual increase in revenues of $356.3 million.
The increase would make the total monthly bill for a residential customer increase from $177.01 to $189.40.
With the vote, the rate increase request is suspended for up to seven months from the proposed effective date of Dec. 1 and will be assigned to the PUC’s Office of Administrative Law Judge (OALJ) for investigation and recommended decisions.
The OALJ’s investigation will include public input hearings to gather testimony from concerned consumers and interested stakeholders.
A final PUC decision on PPL’s rate increase request is due by July 1, 2026.
