4. Sep 2026

(AWP Alliance News) - FirstEnergy unit Potomac Edison proposed a Maryland rate adjustment of USD 52.8 million to fund grid upgrades aimed at improving electric system reliability. The plan would lift the average residential monthly bill by about 5.3%.

Potomac Edison said its residential rates would still be the lowest among Maryland's investor-owned utilities, citing rates 25% below the in-state peer average as of June 1. The filing is subject to review by the Maryland Public Service Commission before any increase takes effect.
