The Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission reminds customers of PPL Electric Utilities and other concerned parties about the upcoming deadline for comments on a proposed settlement that was sparked by consumer billing issues which stretched through much of 2023.

Comments on the proposed PPL settlement are due by 4:30 p.m. Wednesday.

The settlement - which was proposed by the PUC’s independent Bureau of Investigation and Enforcement and PPL - includes payment of a $1 million civil penalty and PPL’s agreement to absorb more than $16 million in related costs.

The proposed settlement also notes that PPL has already refunded approximately $1 million to customers who received estimated bills and were overbilled due to the application of the incorrect rates.

The PUC underscored that the proposed settlement is not a class action suit.
