Why West Virginia bills are rising →Is Potomac Edison (West Virginia) a monopoly? Can you switch?
For delivery, yes — it's a monopoly. Potomac Edison (West Virginia) 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: Potomac Edison (West Virginia), 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. Potomac Edison (West Virginia) 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 Potomac Edison (West Virginia)'s prices are set, and where you can file a public comment.
