Penelec customers may soon see higher rates on their bills.
The electric company is filing a request to increase overall rates by $158 million dollars a year.
That means a home using about 1,000 kilowatts would see a price increase of 17 percent or nearly $20 more on their bill.
To find out how the proposed increase may affect your electric bill, you can call 1-800-545-7741.
If approved, the rate increase would go into effect at the end of June.
