Who approves the increase and what is the process for doing that?

The State Corporation Commission must approve any changes to A&N Electric Cooperative’s rates. The commission staff and commissioners will thoroughly review and evaluate A&N’s rate application. Since the SCC's inception, citizens have had the right to appear before the commission to express opposition or support for issues. The Commissioners encourage broad participation in SCC cases to ensure that everyone's concerns are considered. Visit www.scc.virginia.gov for more information.
