Appalachian Power and Wheeling Power asked the West Virginia Public Service Commission for a 250.5 million dollar rate increase, about 14.6 percent, filed November 1, 2024. The commission granted only 76.1 million dollars of that request in an order issued August 28, 2025, but specifically ordered that current rates stay unchanged while the companies pursue a bond-based securitization plan to spread out costs instead. As a result, this decision did not raise customer bills.

What it means for your bill: The commission approved part of Appalachian Power's rate request on paper, but ordered that your current West Virginia bill not go up because of it; a future securitization bond may still show up as a separate line item.
