CHARLESTON, W.Va. The Public Service Commission of West Virginia has approved a surcharge request from Appalachian Power, which will go into effect in September.

The state Public Service Commission also ordered Appalachian Power to not submit any new base rate increase requests until June 30, 2024.
The Kanawha County Commission released a statement Wednesday, in which commissioners thanked the Public Service Commission for the pause. ....

CHARLESTON, W.Va. State lawmakers will gavel into special session at 11 a.m. Thursday to consider the allocation of $250 million in state revenues to various state agencies.
The money comes from current budget year surplus funds.
Governor Jim Justice
“What we’re doing is managing the surplus,” Senate President Craig Blair, R-Berkeley, told MetroNews Wednesday.
Lawmakers allocated $150 million in surplus revenue to more than 400 highway projects in a special session earlier this month.
The fiscal year ends June 30. State law requires 50% of any budget surplus carried into the new fiscal year be put into the Rainy Day Fund. Gov. Jim Justice said last week the fund is already at record levels. ....

County commissioners are bracing for an increase in their jail bills on July 1 even as they work with local officials and plea with state lawmakers for relief


An already unpredictable and sizeable cost for county taxpayers in West Virginia is about to take up even more of county budgets.
The daily rate to incarcerate an inmate in one of the state’s 10 regional jails increases by almost 14% on July 1.
County commissioners throughout the state learned in the spring the Legislature would not act to keep a cap on the daily rate, commonly referred to as the per diem rate, established in a 2018 law. Come July 1, the daily incarceration rate will increase from $48.25 to $54.88, based on the most recent calculations by the State Budget Office.
“I don’t know how some of these counties are going to survive this situation,” said Logan County Commission President Danny Godby. “It’s gotten to be a point to where all you’re going to be able to do is keep the offices open and not provide any activity for the general public . I don’t know what’s going to happen.” ....
