Residents using PPL Electric Utilities can expect to see a higher monthly bill.
Starting with the first of the year, a three percent increase for the average customer using 1,000 kilowatt-hours a month goes into effect.
Meanwhile, the total monthly bill for small businesses will go up one percent.
PPL says the new rates will add about $70 million in additional annual revenue.
They also say the increase reflects higher operating and maintenance costs, including recovery costs from recent storms like Hurricane Sandy.
