AES Ohio filed a three-year plan under House Bill 15 setting distribution rates for 2027-2029. The Ohio Consumers' Counsel said the original proposal would raise residential delivery charges by more than $143 million over three years. An unopposed July 2026 settlement with a 9.5% ROE would add about $2.43/month for 1,000 kWh from January 2027, per AES; a PUCO order is expected by end of 2026.
