For the average Metropolitan Edison (Met-Ed) residential customer using 750kWh a month, the transmission service charges will result in an increase of approximately 8.3%, or about $6.97 per month.
For the average Pennsylvania Electric (Penelec) residential customer using 750kWh a month, it will result in a decrease of approximately 1%, or about $0.77 per month.
The revised charges reflect costs the utilities are required to pay PJM Interconnection, the regional transmission organization serving Met-Ed and Penelec customers, for transmitting electricity to customers.
The transmission rates, which are approved by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission and outside the utilities' control, do not result in profit for the companies.
