Update: In December, the PUCO issued a decision to expand the application of the Shroyer test, used to determine if a landlord is operating as a public utility, to include condominium associations, submetering companies, and other similarly-situated entities. Concerned that this expansion may unlawfully classify entities, that resell or redistribute electric, gas, and water utilities in commercial settings, as public utility companies, OMAEG joined other commercial groups to seek rehearing of the PUCO’s Order that may affect commercial shared services arrangements.
