Ohio Edison Outlines Terms For City Power System
Norwalk faces a choice as Ohio Edison would buy the city power plant only if the entire electrical system including distribution is sold. A council resolution would be needed for access to records and a price proposal. Ohio Edison would supply 5 000 kilowatts on weekdays and 7 500 on weekends at a monthly $12 870, with the option only if the city keeps the plant or sells the whole system.
