American Electric Power (AEP)
The Office of the Ohio Consumers' Counsel (OCC) is back in court trying to stop American Electric Power from collecting hundreds of millions of dollars in unlawful rate increases.
The consumer advocate filed a new appeal of the company’s rate plan with the Supreme Court of Ohio (case # 09-2022). The action follows the court’s October 29 dismissal of the OCC’s first appeal because the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio (PUCO) had not ruled on two applications for reconsideration filed by the OCC and other parties.
