Dear supporters,

In the past year, I have witnessed an alarming surge in my electricity bills, despite using the same amount of energy as previous years. This is not just my story; it's the plight of many in our community who are reeling under the sudden and unjustified rate hikes imposed by Potomac Energy. For years, we have relied on this service to sustain our homes and businesses, but the recent increases—in some cases doubling, tripling, or even quadrupling previous bills—are an insurmountable burden.

I lead a community ministry where we mentor young people, aiding their personal and professional development. These unforeseen charges are not just numbers on a bill—they're barriers to our mission and a severe strain on the families we support. Many in our program are struggling to keep their lights on, and this injustice is affecting their ability to create a stable home environment and pursue educational opportunities.

The sudden spike in charges by Potomac Energy lacks transparency and, to our knowledge, justification. We, as responsible consumers, deserve to know the reasons behind such drastic increases. We demand an immediate rollback of these inflated rates to ensure that they reflect a fair and realistic cost of service provision.

Moreover, Potomac Energy should initiate an open dialogue with its customers, providing detailed explanations for any future rate adjustments and exploring alternative methods to enhance energy efficiency without jeopardizing financial stability for those they serve.

We need as many voices as possible to urge Potomac Energy to reconsider its current pricing strategy. By supporting this petition, you are advocating for a fair, transparent, and honest partnership between energy providers and the communities they serve.

Please sign this petition and help us demand accountability and fairness from Potomac Energy. Your support is crucial in helping us make a change that will benefit thousands in our community.
