CHARLESTON, WV – The Public Service Commission has approved a proposal by Mon Power and The Potomac Edison Company to offer energy efficient LED outdoor lighting. The Commission approved lower rates than proposed by the Companies and rejected a request for a one-time charge for converting existing lights to LED.
“Mon Power and PE customers will soon have the option of energy efficient outdoor LED lighting,” stated PSC Chairman Charlotte Lane. “The Public Service Commission recognizes the importance of the prudent use of energy and believes it is important for customers to be able to enjoy the benefits and comforts of energy consumption in a responsible and efficient way. LED lights not only consume less energy, they use electricity more efficiently than the current outdoor/streetlight lighting options. The Commission is pleased to offer these savings to the Mon Power/PE customers.”
The LED outdoor lighting option is voluntary and available to residential or government agencies.
