Along with our sister company Potomac Edison, we have asked the Public Service Commission of West Virginia (PSC) to review electric rates. This review would allow us to keep investing in a safe, reliable electric system that is better prepared for severe weather.
We also know our customers are watching costs closely, so we’re focused on making smart investments that improve service and provide long-term value. Learn more: spr.ly/6012BBAzeQ
Even as winter winds down, many West Virginia families are still feeling the impact of higher winter energy use. We want customers to know help is available through bill assistance and emergency support programs designed to make it easier to manage electricity costs -

As local power lines are repaired and put back in service, damage to individual customer service wires may become apparent. If your neighbor's power is on and yours is not, the problem may be isolated to your individual service. If this happens, please let us know ⤵️
Our crews made significant progress yesterday and have restored power to about 95% of customers impacted by Friday's windstorm. We continue working 24/7 to restore service to about 1,700 remaining customers, and we expect to have most back up and running by 11 p.m.
Thank you for hanging in there with us. We know being without power is frustrating, and we truly appreciate your patience and support as our crews work as quickly and safely as possible to get everyone restored. Stay safe!
If you receive a call or text that power has been restored but you remain without service, a secondary issue may need to be addressed. We know this can be frustrating, but confirming your power is still out allows crews to continue addressing the cause of your outage. ⤵️
