Carneys Point Committee to send letter over Atlantic City Electric rate increase request
Summary
After reading Atlantic City Electric’s request to the NJ Board of Public Utilities for an approximate 8% delivery rate increase (about $12.96/month), the Committee voted to send a letter expressing concern over rising electric costs and encouraged residents to contact Senator Van Drew.
The Committee reviewed correspondence from Atlantic City Electric notifying municipalities of a request to the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities for an estimated 8% delivery rate increase — "approximately $12.96 per month," as the minutes record. Mr. Pelura proposed that the Committee send a letter expressing concern over rising electric costs; the motion was seconded by Mayor Brown and approved unanimously.
Mayor Brown also urged residents to call or write Senator Van Drew with complaints about the proposed rate change. The Committee did not record further policy steps beyond authorizing the letter; any formal comments to the Board of Public Utilities or coordinated municipal filings would be handled by the Clerk and municipal offices.
