The Northampton County Council voted to join two other counties in an effort to negotiate for better electricity prices in the future according to an article in the Morning Call (read it here).
Rate caps for PPL will expire in 2010, for Met-Ed in 2011. It is expected rates will increase 40%.
Unfortunately, while this maneuver will help keep taxes down, residents will have to pay the increased amounts for their own bills as this only applies to the County’s electric bill.

FYI, rate caps for PPL expire at the end of this year and Met-Ed in Jan 2011 (not the end of the 2011. It will hit us sooner than most are anticipating.
