According to DC's Office of the People's Counsel, the Potomac Electric Power Company ("Pepco") is seeking a revenue rate increase of $51.75 million. This would add about six dollars a month to the bill for the typical residential customer.
If approved, the increase would take effect in spring 2014 at the earliest.
