Update:  OMAEG filed a memorandum contra FirstEnergy’s application for rehearing of the PUCO’s October 12, 2016 decision to approve the Distribution Modernization Rider (Rider DMR), and authorize FirstEnergy to collect from customers approximately $132.5 million per year, adjusted for taxes, for a total of three years, with a possible extension of two additional years.  Specifically, OMAEG opposes FirstEnergy’s requests that the PUCO adopt their proposed modifications to Rider DMR, including an extended eight-year term and an additional value to account for the purported economic development impact of maintaining FirstEnergy’s headquarters in Akron, Ohio.  The Commission is scheduled to rule upon the issues raised on rehearing at its December 7, 2016 meeting.
