Change in Order on Rural Lighting in Ohio
The Ohio Public Utilities Commission issued a citation directing electric companies, the Ohio Farm Bureau, and the Ohio State to appear in Columbus on March 17 to discuss changes to the rural electrification extension order. The current executive order requires utilities to install extensions at their expense with a four year initial period and a monthly revenue guarantee of two percent of extension cost. The hearing will consider reducing the guarantee to one percent after four years, with a minimum of one dollar, and eliminating the guarantee once annual revenue from all customers on an extension reaches 30 percent of construction cost.
