Tell the General Assembly to Stop APCo's Rate Hikes
Whereas, Appalachian Power has requested 13 rate increases in Virginia since 2005 resulting in residential and commercial power bills that have nearly doubled; and,
Whereas, skyrocketing electric rates are crippling southwest and Southside Virginia forcing families to choose between food, medicine and the electric bill; and,
Whereas, companies are laying off workers and considering moving jobs out of state due to increased operating costs from high electric rates;
We, the undersigned, do beseech the General Assembly of Virginia to pass meaningful legislation to strengthen electric utility regulation so as to reign in excessive rate increases by Appalachian Power and protect the public interest. Furthermore, we support Delegate Ward Armstrong in his efforts to fight Appalachian Power Company’s rate increases.
Signed,
