PSC receives words of support for proposed Maidsville Energy Center

The Public Service Commission is receiving testimony and letters regarding the proposed Maidsville Energy Center by Mon Power/Potomac Edison. Opponents argue that future load growth, including from data centers, is overestimated, potentially leading to unnecessary rate increases. Proponents, such as the West Virginia Chamber of Commerce, counter that failing to build sufficient generation capacity risks economic opportunities and grid reliability for various industries, including data centers.
