Customers of Respond Power L.L.C. will receive more than $5 million in refunds as part of a settlement the retail electricity supplier has reached with Pennsylvania.
Public Utility Commission administrative law judges Elizabeth H. Barnes and Joel H. Cheskis approved a $5.3 million settlement between Respond and Attorney General Kathleen G. Kane and acting Consumer Advocate Tanya J. McCloskey, who last year charged five suppliers with deceptive practices related to huge price increases they charged during the 2014 polar vortex.
The settlement, approved Friday, requires Respond to pay $4.1 million in refunds in addition to the $971,000 it already repaid. The company also will pay a $125,000 civil penalty and $50,000 to the electric distribution companies' hardship funds.
The judges' recommendation requires the PUC's approval.
