One of the key OMA-supported provisions included in House Bill 15, passed by the Ohio General Assembly earlier this year, is the repeal of subsidies that Ohioans have been forced to pay to utility ownership of two uncompetitive and uneconomic OVEC power plants. In all, Ohio ratepayers subsidized more than $683 million dollars in losses for OVEC’s operations.

The OMA’s energy engineering consultant, RunnerStone LLC, has calculated that the elimination of the rider is estimated to save Ohioans over $400 million through 2030.
