WASHINGTON - TelAve -- The DC Office of the People's Council formally filed an appeal against the Public Service Commission (PSC) and Pepco on April 29, 2025. Last December, the PSC approved a $123 million rate increase for Pepco over two years despite pushback from advocates, residents, and business-owners. The OPC has consistently stated Pepco's rate increase is unneeded, unsubstantiated, and will harm DC communities more than it will help. In addition, the OPC states that the PSC has erred in its judgements, while trusting Pepco to provide indefinite data and pointing out Pepco's current rate plan contains "structural deficiencies (https://edocket.dcpsc.org/apis/api/Filing/downl...)," which will further burden rate payers.

We Power DC commends the OPC for continuously advocating for DC ratepayers by pushing for rates that are just and reasonable. We agree with the OPC's stance that Pepco was incorrectly awarded their rate increase by Chairman Emilie Thompson and Commissioner Trabue. With sky-high cost of living in the District and energy prices already set to increase, it was both inappropriate and unjust for the PSC to grant Pepco a rate increase on the backs of DC residents and businesses.

We look forward to the OPC's continued advocacy with their appeal. See here: (FC 1176 (https://edocket.dcpsc.org/apis/api/Filing/download?attachId=222371&guidFileName=18790fa9-c3c6-4733-84e6-76b2debbfc42.pdf)).
