Settlement Improves Deal for DP&L Customers

After months of negotiations DP&L reached a settlement with the PUCO staff and other parties in its electric security plan case (ESP III).

The Dayton utility last October had applied for a subsidy rider on customers’ bills of $145 million per year for eight years, totaling approximately $1.16 billion.

The settlement instead gives the utility a subsidy of $105 million for three years for a total of $315 million. The subsidy will be paid by a new rider on all customers’ bills in the DP&L service territory.

Carpenter Lipps & Leland (CLL), counsel for the OMA Energy Group, participated in the negotiations and secured this and other improvements.
