ROANOKE (AP) – Appalachian Power customers will pay about 15.5 percent more a month as two rate increases go into effect.
A 12.8 percent interim base rate increase and a 2.7 percent hike that’s tied to a transmission surcharge are effective Saturday.
Appalachian Power says the monthly bill of an average customer who uses 1,000 kilowatt hours a month will increase by $15.
The interim base rate increase still needs approval from the Virginia State Corporation Commission.
