MORGANTOWN, WV (AP) — The Ohio Valley Environmental
Coalition is planning a forum on rising utility bills that it's dubbed
the Morgantown Power Hour.
The event is 6 p.m. Wednesday at the Morgantown Library.
Organizers
say Mon Power is unfairly raising costs to consumers by buying a
coal-fired plant from its parent, Ohio-based FirstEnergy, and refusing
to invest in energy efficiency.
Chris Shepherd of Energy Efficient West Virginia says two bills pending in the Legislature would encourage energy efficiency.
But
Mon Power spokesman Todd Meyers says energy-efficiency programs and
reduced demand aren't practical solutions to the significant capacity
shortfalls facing Mon Power and Potomac Edison.
He says the proposed purchase of the Harrison Power Station ensures a continued supply of low-cost power.
The Public Service Commission will hold hearings on the deal in May.
