PECO, PPL, West Penn Power, Penelec, and their parent companies, are reporting massive profits at the same time families are struggling with record‑high utility bills. That’s not an accident. It’s the result of constant rate hikes and a system that lets utilities pass costs (and risks) on to customers while shareholders cash in.

 

Enough is enough. Governor Shapiro said in his budget address that it’s time to put consumers first. Now, the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission (PUC) needs to act. The PUC is supposed to protect the public interest, not rubber‑stamp rate hikes or give utilities blank checks while everyday people fall behind.

 

We’re calling on the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission to:

​

• Stop unjustified rate hikes that drive up monthly bills

• Reject blank‑check approvals that reward utilities no matter the cost to customers

• Hold utility companies accountable before approving future increases

• Put Pennsylvania families first, NOT corporate profits
