"Public Service Commission to Vote on RG&E Rate Increases, We Energies Proposals Discussed"

The New York State Public Service Commission is set to vote on Thursday on proposed rate increases for RG&E, with the utility company seeking a 19% increase for electric and a 20% increase for gas. Customers and politicians have raised concerns about poor service during storms and customer service issues. RG&E argues that the rate increases are necessary to invest in clean energy, grid infrastructure, and customer service.
