Put on Hold Tariff Increases – Consumer Protection Agency to PURC

The Consumer Protection Agency has made a request. They want the Public Utilities Regulatory Commission (PURC) to pause tariff increases. This request comes amid rising concerns from consumers.

The agency is worried about the impact of higher tariffs. Many consumers are already struggling with their expenses. The proposed increases could worsen their financial situation.

Officials from the Consumer Protection Agency met with PURC representatives. They discussed the need for a thorough review of the proposed tariffs. The agency emphasized that consumer welfare should be a priority.

The PURC has not yet responded to this request. Consumers are waiting for updates on any decisions made. The outcome will affect many households across the region.
