WASHINGTON - Pepco customers are lashing out at the
utility in the aftermath of June's derecho. At a packed hearing,
Maryland regulators heard from customers fed up with Pepco's
performance. Hundreds of thousands of customers lost power for days
after the storm. Now Pepco is fueling another firestorm calling for
another rate increase.
The company estimates it cost $70 to $85 million
to restore power and it intends to get that money back from the very
customers it has angered.
"A rate increase for Pepco is just rewarding
nonperformance. It's inexcusable," said Rise Goldstein, who was at the
public hearing in Rockville.
