PPL gets PUC OK

The state Public Utility Commission voted unanimously on Thursday to allow PPL Electric Utilities to continue to do the billing and accounting for customers who switch their service when rate caps expire in January.

PPL’s rates are expected to increase about 30 percent when rate caps expire on Jan. 1, making offers from retailers who entering the market more competitive. Under deregulation, customers will be able to switch among retail suppliers, but PPL will continue to maintain local electric lines and bill customers.
