Hear the latest on rate caps

There's still plenty of uncertainty about what's going to happen when the caps on electricity rates come off. A story from the York Dispatch reports the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission has changed its forecast for what will happen when Met-Ed lifts its caps, with less of a spike expected. That's good news. But it's far from the final word.

So this event, from the York/Adams Regional Smart Growth Coalition, figures to be helpful. The smart growth group will host "Expiration of the Electric Rate Caps: What York and Adams County Homeowners Need to Know" at 6 p.m. Aug. 3 (that's tomorrow) at Heritage Hills Golf Resort & Conference Center, 2700 Mount Rose Ave., York.

The discussion will cover energy deregulation, Act 129, state funding programs, alternative energy choices and a primer on conservation. There will also be a service provider fair. The event is free, and there is still time to register. Contact Shanna Wiest at 717-880-1230 or shanna@YorkAdamsSmartGrowth.org to register.
