FirstEnergy Corp., the Ohio-based parent company of Mon Power and Potomac Edison, plans to have Mon Power purchase the Pleasants power plant. If successful, this plan will pass the costs of the plant onto Mon Power and Potomac Edison customers in West Virginia. 

A similar transfer of ownership of the Harrison power plant has cost West Virginia ratepayers more than $160 million, so far.
