The advocacy group known as The People’s Forum has formally asked the Public Utilities Regulatory Commission (PURC) to stop increasing electricity costs. They also want the commission to look again at the current prices.

This action comes as consumers face growing financial strain. The group believes reviewing the tariffs will help ease this burden.

The People’s Forum submitted their petition to the Executive Secretary of the PURC. This was done on March 10, 2026.

The petition details the group’s concerns about the rising electricity charges. These concerns are aimed at protecting consumers from excessive payments.
