Cincinnati Supreme Court Upholds Gas and Electric Rate Ruling
The Ohio Supreme Court ruled that city ordinances fixing 30-cent gas and 80-cent electric rates fall under the Union Gas and Electric Company franchise, denying the State Utilities Commission jurisdiction to hear the appeal. The decision keeps current electric rates at 8.5 cents per kilowatt hour and could require refunds of over $500,000 if the gas ordinance is deemed valid. The ruling also blocks the commission from reopening the electric rate case, maintaining the existing rate.
