Washington, DC - The Office of the People’s Counsel for the District of Columbia (OPC) has filed testimony requesting that the DC Public Service Commission (PSC) reject the vast majority ($47.3 million) of Washington Gas Light’s (WGL) $53 million proposed rate increase and urges the PSC to closely examine the impact the rate increase will have on the most financially vulnerable DC consumers. OPC also calls on the PSC to strengthen its regulatory oversight of the gas company’s poor performance with infrastructure projects.
