In re Application of Ohio Power Co.
Annotate this CaseReporting that it suffered underrecovered transmission costs of $36 million during the period under review, the Ohio Power Company filed an application to recover the underrecovered transmission costs associated with providing transmission service to its standard-service-offer customers. The Public Utilities Commission approved the application, determining that Ohio Power could collect the underrecovered costs from both shopping and nonshopping customers. Industrial Energy Users-Ohio (IEU) appealed, arguing that the Commission abused its discretion by allowing Ohio Power to recover the underrecovered transmission costs from shopping customers. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that the IEU did not meet its burden of demonstrating that the Commission’s orders were unjust, unreasonable, or unlawful.
