I just spoke at the PA Public Utilities Commission’s hearing in Lancaster to ask them to REJECT PPL’s proposed 7% rate increase on Lancaster families.

I’m at the PUC hearing in Manheim Township Public Library where I’m going to advocate for the PUC to reject PPL’s proposed 7% rate increase on Lancaster families. PPL should not be able to raise rates until there is a framework in place to make data centers pay their fair share.

I hope you will join me tonight in encouraging the PUC to reject PPL's proposed rate hikes until we have a framework in place to better protect consumers from bearing the cost of infrastructure upgrades needed for data centers.
