Ensuring Competitive,
Customer-Centric Energy Markets in Ohio

The Ohio House is currently considering legislation that would improve markets in Ohio. House Bill 317 removes Ohio’s outdated Electric Security Plan, the regulated model for setting standard service offer rates in Ohio, and replaces it with the Competitive Power Plan. The CPP significantly reduces the amount of non-bypassable riders that can be layered onto customer bills, streamlines the regulatory process for approval of the plan, allows for refunds of charges that are determined to be unlawful by the Ohio Supreme Court, and creates a uniform statewide definition of small commercial customer. Please consider using these tools to contact your legislator and urge their support.
