Mon Power is a regulated electricity distribution utility serving customers across 34 West Virginia counties, operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of FirstEnergy Corp. (NYSE: FE). The company delivers electric service through traditional transmission and distribution infrastructure, supplemented by smart meter deployment, a customer-facing My Account online portal, outage reporting and management systems, and energy efficiency programs. Customer segments include residential, commercial, and industrial users within the franchise territory, served under tariff rates approved by the Public Service Commission of West Virginia. Revenue is generated through regulated rate recovery on approved distribution charges plus pass-through of generation and transmission costs, billed monthly.

The company's product portfolio extends beyond basic distribution to include EV charging support resources, the Analyze Usage tool for residential and business energy analytics, and emerging distributed generation assets. Mon Power has secured federal grant funding for rural grid reliability projects and is pursuing, in partnership with sister subsidiary Potomac Edison, a major 1.2GW natural gas generation facility plus 70MW of new solar capacity — part of FirstEnergy's broader $7.7 billion capital investment plan in West Virginia through 2029. The business is capital-intensive, rate-regulated, and franchise-protected, with no independent go-to-market or competitive customer acquisition motion. All sales, marketing, and customer service functions flow through FirstEnergy Corp.'s corporate channels.

WV NewsShinnston City Council seeks answers on Mon Power water rate requestShinnston City Council is preparing a formal response to Mon Power's request to reduce water rates from $4.14 to $2 per 1,000 gallons for its Harrison Power Station operations. The city faces significant financial risk as the power station accounts for approximately 40% of municipal water revenue, with potential service reductions starting in early 2028 if negotiations fail.The Cool DownWest Virginia signs off on two-step power rate hike, pushing bills up 5.6%West Virginia utility regulators approved a two-step electricity rate increase for Mon Power and Potomac Edison, with total rate costs rising by $37.9 million by August 2026 and another $37.6 million by June 2027. The phased approach means a typical household bill will climb from $137.86 to $145.52 per month, representing a 5.6% overall increase. The approved plan is smaller than the companies' more aggressive alternative that would have added $17.89 per month to residential bills, and under the order, the utilities cannot file a general base rate case before April 1, 2028.WV NewsMon Power Working to restore service after overnight stormsStrong thunderstorms swept through North Central West Virginia overnight, leaving 56 Mon Power customers in Morgantown without electricity as of Thursday morning, with power expected to be restored by 1 p.m. The outages affected fewer than 1% of Mon Power's 49,941 customers in the city, with no outages reported in other Monongalia County communities. The article notes this follows a summer marked by several weather-related power disruptions, including late July storms that knocked out power to more than 10,000 FirstEnergy customers across the region.The Cool DownWest Virginia residents hear power plant may seek cheaper water, and fear their bills will riseMon Power's Harrison Power Station in Shinnston, West Virginia, is considering switching from the Shinnston Municipal Water Authority to drawing water directly from the West Fork River, which could cut its water costs by roughly half. The power plant accounts for about 40% of the water authority's revenue, and the city is still paying bond debt from infrastructure upgrades made 20 years ago specifically for the facility. Residents fear that losing this major industrial customer could shift costs onto household water bills.Stock TitanMon Power, Potomac Edison offer bill aidMon Power and Potomac Edison, FirstEnergy subsidiaries, announced the availability of bill assistance programs for eligible customers in West Virginia and Maryland, citing higher seasonal energy costs from winter temperatures. The programs include the Dollar Energy Fund emergency hardship fund, the Emergency Assistance Program one-time payment, and the 2-1-1 Helpline. Mon Power serves approximately 395,000 customers across 34 West Virginia counties, while Potomac Edison serves around 285,000 customers in seven Maryland counties and 155,000 in the Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia.Power TechnologyMon Power and Potomac Edison plan 1.2GW gas power plantMon Power and Potomac Edison, both subsidiaries of FirstEnergy, have submitted a plan to the Public Service Commission of West Virginia for a new 1.2GW natural gas power station adjacent to the Fort Martin Power Station in Maidsville, West Virginia. The proposed facility is designed to supply electricity to approximately 500,000 homes in response to increasing regional demand, with site work potentially beginning in 2027 and operations targeted for late 2031. The companies are also seeking approval to develop 70MW of new solar generation capacity alongside the gas project.PR NewswireMon Power and Potomac Edison Select Maidsville, West Virginia, Site for New Natural Gas Power PlantMon Power and Potomac Edison, subsidiaries of FirstEnergy Corp., have selected a 35-acre site next to their Fort Martin Power Station in Maidsville, West Virginia, as the location for a new 1,200-megawatt natural gas power plant scheduled to come online in late 2031, pending Public Service Commission approval. The plant is expected to generate enough electricity to power roughly half a million homes and is part of the companies' Integrated Resource Plan to meet growing regional demand. The companies are also seeking approval for 70 megawatts of new solar generation across three West Virginia locations on reclaimed mine lands and former industrial sites.TrendHunter.comSolar Grazing SitesMon Power introduced a solar grazing program using sheep to manage vegetation around approximately 50,000 solar panels near the Fort Martin Power Station. The approach reduces reliance on fuel-powered mowing, lowers emissions, and supports local West Virginia farmers. It also prevents shading that could reduce panel efficiency.PR NewswireMon Power Brings Solar Grazing to West Virginia SiteMon Power, a FirstEnergy Corp. subsidiary, deployed approximately 350 sheep for solar grazing at their 80-acre Fort Martin solar site in Monongalia County, West Virginia, using Sivic LLC to manage vegetation around 50,000 solar panels. This eco-friendly approach benefits local farmers economically while keeping the solar panels operating efficiently by preventing vegetation shade. The 18.9-megawatt site, which went into service in early 2024, is the first of three sites under Mon Power and Potomac Edison's solar program to develop solar projects on brownfield or impacted industrial properties.PR NewswireMon Power and Potomac Edison Invest $13 Million to Boost Reliability for Rural West Virginia CommunitiesMon Power and Potomac Edison, subsidiaries of FirstEnergy, are investing $13 million in infrastructure upgrades across rural West Virginia in 2025 as part of a three-year pilot program approved by the Public Service Commission of West Virginia. The projects aim to improve electric service reliability for approximately 12,700 customers in Berkeley, Morgan, Greenbrier, Hancock, and Tyler counties by building new power lines, upgrading existing wires, adding substation transformers, and installing automated smart technologies. The improvements are designed to reduce the frequency and duration of outages, particularly during severe weather events, and provide backup power capabilities for affected communities.
