CHARLESTON — Two power companies owned by Ohio-based FirstEnergy Corp. are seeking approval to keep Pleasants Power Station near St. Marys open for an additional year while it considers long-term options, but they also seek to raise prices on customers to cover the costs.
Monongahela Power Co. and Potomac Edison Co. released their analysis of keeping Pleasants Power operating past its closure date of May 31. Both companies are subsidiaries of FirstEnergy, based in Akron, Ohio.
