Gov. McDonnell Signs Legislation Reducing Cost of Electricity for Appalachian Power Customers
Governor Bob McDonnell was joined by delegates and senators from throughout Southside, western and southwestern Virginia as he signed his first bills since taking office. The Governor signed HB 1308, patroned by Delegate Bill Carrico (R-Galax) and SB 680 patroned by Senator Phillip Puckett (D-Russell), identical pieces of emergency legislation that will immediately reduce the cost of electricity to Appalachian Powers residential customers by approximately 12%. The legislation will suspend the interim rates that went into effect in December when the Company filed an application for a rate increase with the State Corporation Commission. The law will no longer allow interim rates in cases like this one, and APCo agreed to apply the law immediately to their current rates.
