No supplier to shop in West Virginia

West Virginia doesn't offer residential electric choice, so there's no third-party supplier to compare against — your rate is the regulated rate the Public Service Commission of West Virginia approves. Instead of a bill audit, we track Mon Power's rate cases so you can see what's proposed and what it means for your bill.

Is Mon Power a monopoly? Can you switch?

For delivery, yes — it's a monopoly. Mon Power is the only company that runs the poles and wires to homes in its territory, so you can't pick a different company to deliver your power. That part is a regulated monopoly: Mon Power, owned by FirstEnergy, can only charge what the WV PSC approves in a rate case.

And in West Virginia, there's nothing to switch to. Unlike "shopping" states, West Virginia doesn't offer residential electric choice — no competitive supplier sells you the electricity. Mon Power provides both the delivery and the power itself at a single regulated rate the WV PSC approves. Your one real lever is the rate case: that's where Mon Power's prices are set, and where you can file a public comment.
