RG&E has asked for permission to raise rates. That request goes through the New York State Public Service Commission, which will hold a public hearing in Rochester on August 6. A number of stakeholders plan on attending the hearing, offering their views on RG&E’s rates, but also on energy policy more generally. RG&E has provided a statement to WXXI News.
We discuss what the rates mean with our guests:
- Scott Oliver, deputy for energy programs for PathStone Corproration
- Kristen Van Hooreweghe, member of Rochester People's Climate Coalition
- Richard Berkley, executive director of the Public Utility Law Project of New York
