Rally for Lower Rates at the State Capitol on March 20: Energy is a human right. We need it to stay warm and cool, cook and, for some, even to breathe. It’s essential for our health and survival. Our electricity bills have more than doubled between 2002 to 2022. Now, AEP wants to raise them again! They made costly mistakes and want us to pay for them. West Virginians for Energy Freedom invites you to tell Appalachian Power that we can’t take more rate hikes. It’s time to reclaim our power. Join them at The Rates Are Too Dang High! AEP Protest on Thursday, March 20, from 11 am to 1 pm. at the State Capital. Learn more and RSVP to our protest here.
