The Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission on Monday reminded customers of PPL Electric Utilities and other concerned parties about the upcoming deadline for comments on a proposed settlement that was sparked by consumer billing issues which stretched through much of 2023. Comments on the proposed PPL settlement are due by 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Feb. 28. The settlement — which was proposed by the PUC’s independent Bureau of Investigation and Enforcement (I&E) and PPL — includes payment of a $1 million civil penalty and PPL’s agreement to absorb more than $16 million in related costs. The proposed settlement also notes that PPL has already refunded approximately $1 million to customers who received estimated bills and were over-billed due to the application of the incorrect rates.
