Don’t Let PPL Raise Your Rates – Act Today!

Are you a PPL customer? We’re so sorry to be delivering this news during a holiday week, but in case you haven’t heard: PPL Electric has requested a $356.3 million rate increase from the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission (PUC) which would raise average residential distribution bills by 20%, while lowering rates for big data centers.

This precedent-setting proposal is absolutely absurd. It shifts the burden onto households while giving breaks to large corporations. Your voice matters in stopping this!

The PUC is holding public input hearings Dec. 8–Dec. 15, with in-person options and a call-in option on Dec. 15. These hearings are your chance to tell the PUC how this impacts you and your community. 

We’ve listed the hearings below, but you can also click here for more information about the hearings and to register. We’re happy to provide talking points and support for anyone interested in testifying. Getting involved is easy—and critical. Just reply to this email for our help and we’ll get in touch with you next week!
