Update: On January 16, 2015, OMA Energy Group, The Dayton Power and Light Company (DP&L), the Retail Energy Supply Association (RESA), the Environmental Law and Policy Center, Sierra Club, Natural Resources Defense Council, and Ohio Environmental Council filed applications for rehearing of the Commission’s December 17, 2014 finding and order adopting rules governing the disclosure of costs relating to electric distribution utilities’ compliance with energy efficiency (EE) and peak demand reduction (PDR) benchmarks on customer bills.

In its application for rehearing, OMA Energy Group contended that the Commission erred in determining that shared savings incentives paid to utilities should be represented to customers as a cost of compliance with the EE and PDR requirements, and that the Commission failed to determine whether additional information on the benefits provided by EE and PDR and a comparison of EE and PDR resource costs to the costs associated with other electricity resources should be available on the Commission’s website. OMA Energy Group also requested that the Commission clarify that electric distribution utilities may not use banked savings to meet and exceed the statutory EE and PDR requirements in the same year.
