JCP&L wants to raise rates by 4.5 percent or more than $50 per year for the typical residential customer.
The request filed Friday with the Board of Public Utilities includes a 1.5 percent increase requested in November. It was first reported by The Star-Ledger (http://bit.ly/XRj9zE)
The company, which serves customers on the shore, says it spent $630 million to pay for damage caused by Sandy last year.
The request calls for recovering most of that from ratepayers.
