Rep. Quigley to host Public Hearing on Electricity Rates

An announcement from state Rep. Tom Quigley, R-146, who is hosting a public hearing this week on Electric Rate Cap Mitigation and Energy Conservation:
HARRISBURG - State Rep. Tom Quigley (R-Montgomery) and members of the House Republican Policy Committee will host a public hearing on electric rate cap mitigation and energy conservation at 11 a.m., on Wednesday, July 30, in the community room of Montgomery County Community College, 101 College Drive, Pottstown.

"Caps on electric rates are scheduled to come off in the next two years and will have a tremendous impact on consumer utility bills," said Quigley. "We will hear testimony from representatives from Philadelphia Electric Company (PECO) and the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission (PUC) on how they are preparing for the transition."

The 12 House members in attendance will also get an update on a company from King of Prussia that is spearheading energy conservation efforts.

"BioChem Technology specializes in working with wastewater treatment plants," Quigley added. "In a world of tough economic times where all of us need to learn how to do more with less, this company uses the latest science to help plant operators maximize efficiency while cutting costs."

Quigley is a member of the House Republican Policy Committee.
