Pike County Light & Power

What Pike County Light & Power does

Pike County Light & Power Company (PCLP) is a Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission (PUC)-regulated investor-owned utility that delivers electricity and natural gas to customers in northeastern Pike County, Pennsylvania. The company serves approximately 5,200 electricity customers across Milford Borough, Milford Township, Westfall Township, Matamoras Borough, Millrift, Pond Eddy, and portions of Dingman Township, and approximately 1,400 natural gas customers in Matamoras Borough and a small section of Westfall Township. Distribution infrastructure consists of more than 100 miles of overhead electric lines, 40 miles of underground electric lines, and 19 miles of gas pipeline. The company was incorporated on May 17, 1910, as a subsidiary of Orange County Public Service Company of Port Jervis, NY.

Revenue is generated primarily through PUC-regulated, recurring delivery tariffs: electricity distribution with generation prices resetting annually on June 1, and natural gas distribution under published tariff documents. Beyond core delivery, PCLP offers customer-facing tools including Online Bill Pay (via third-party processor Paymentus), an interactive Outage Map, Budget Billing, and an AMI (Advanced Metering Infrastructure) smart-meter deployment program. The company also administers a portfolio of customer-assistance programs — Good Neighbor Fund, HEELP, LIHEELP (Homeowner's Energy Efficiency Loan Program, 1% fixed-rate ten-year loans), LIHEAP, New Start Program, USDA Loans/Grants, and Weatherization — that function as standard components of a residential distribution utility rather than discrete revenue lines.

PCLP is a subsidiary of Corning Energy Corporation (CEC), the holding entity created in August 2022 when Corning Natural Gas Holding Corporation (CNGHC), PCLP's parent from 2016, was acquired on July 6, 2022, by private infrastructure investor Argo Infrastructure Partners. Prior owners included Orange & Rockland (a Con Edison subsidiary). Headcount is reported at 1–10 employees, suggesting back-office, regulatory, and operational functions are largely consolidated within CEC. The company is currently implementing infrastructure modernization, including AMI meter rollout, alongside incremental gas and electric service expansion plans within its defined Pike County service territory.

• National Fuel Gas Distribution Corporation: Large regulated natural gas LDC operating in Pennsylvania and New York. Comparable gas distribution business model with similar regulatory and operating characteristics; useful proxy for gas LDC economics.
• Orange and Rockland Utilities (Con Edison): Former parent of PCLP, currently a Con Edison subsidiary operating electric and gas distribution in NY/NJ/PA. Comparable combined electric and gas LDC business model with historical operating overlap.
• PPL Electric Utilities: Major Pennsylvania electric distribution utility. Comparable regulated T&D business model and PA PUC regulatory environment, providing a benchmark for rate-case outcomes, AMI deployment, and rate-base growth.
