In the Matter of the Application of Ohio Power Company for Authority to Establish a Standard Service Office, Case No. 2017-749; and In the Matter of the Application Seeking Approval of Ohio Power Company's Proposal to Enter into an Affiliate Power Purchase Agreement, Case No. 2017-0752
Public Utilities Commission of Ohio
ISSUES:
- May the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio (PUCO) authorize a power purchase agreement rider that charges or credits Ohio Power Company customers for electricity - -- Does a power purchase agreement rider constitute an unlawful charge for transition or equivalent revenues past the 2010 deadline for electric utility providers to collect costs related to transitioning from a regulated market to a competitive retail electricity market?
- Was the power purchase agreement rider authorized by Ohio law when the PUCO approved a placeholder rider in Ohio Power Company's Electric Security Plan?
- Was a subsequent power purchase agreement rider filed by the company to replace the placeholder authorized by law?
