The OMA-supported legislation included the repeal of subsidies for uneconomical power plants in southern Ohio and Indiana, a repeal of above-market charges, also known as “riders,” on customers’ power bills, and increased utility transparency in the form of energy “heat maps” that utilities will be required to publish.
