Amherst to add backup system to prevent future rate spikes
Amherst officials said AMP Ohio is building a 53 million backup power system to avoid expensive emergency market purchases after a July outage. The system, including 121 megawatts of capacity, should be complete within 30 days and will be funded by AMP Ohio, not residents. Utilities chief Donald Woodings noted July usage surged to 11 million kilowatts, driving typical bills from 68 to 109 dollars.
