Oberlin Moves to Block Proposed Rate Cut
Testimony presented to the Public Utilities Commission argues Ohio Electric Power Co would lose about 20 000 annually under Oberlin’s rate reduction plan. Oberlin lawyers contend the plan would force municipal control, cost the utility over 82 904 to operate for a year, and leave a 21 021 deficit after revenues. The case seeks to prevent the city from obtaining a rate cut funded by consumers.
