A second electric supplier accused of price gouging during the winter of 2014 has agreed to settle a case brought by the state attorney general’s office.
Under the settlement, Hiko Energy has agreed to pay $1.6 million in refunds to people who had enrolled in its savings program, and another $350,000 for all other customers on variable rate plans.
The agreement follows a proposed settlement announced in March with Energy Services Providers Inc., which does business as Pennsylvania Gas and Electric (PaG&E). That proposed settlement called for consumers to receive an additional $2.3 million in refunds.
