![One piece of testimony to the DCPSC found that the utility did not spend the $94 million it collected after its first rate hike.
Last spring, the D.C. Office of the People's Counsel (which advocates on behalf of utility customers) filed an appeal over the 2024 hike, arguing that the DCPSC ignored required due process for evaluating the initial rate hike.
"We don't know really where the money [from multiyear rate plans] gets shifted oftentimes," said OPC's Assistant People's Counsel Ankush Nayar.
In an email to The 51st, Pepco spokesperson Addie Kauzlarich says the $94 million number is

Fuck the DCPSC, all my homies hate the DCPSC.
BIG PEPCO NEWS: If you're angry about high electricity bills, the D.C. Court of Appeals just tossed out the Public Service Commission's last two-year rate increase (for years 2024-2026) for Pepco on procedural grounds.
BUT: I'm told no immediate bill changes for D.C. customers.

I'd love to see our surprisingly active local AG sue the fuck out of Pepco since our DCPSC is useless trash. One member did object but the other two? Pepco is also a regular landing place for the scummiest of DC former pols. Like Vinnie Citrus.
