| Here's how much a typical Allegheny Power residential customer using 600
kilowatt hours per month would pay. Price comparisons are not possible at this time
because the Public Utility Commission has not yet set Allegheny Power's "price to
compare." Listed below are companies which have expressed an interest to the PUC in
supplying Allegheny Power's service territory. |
