AES Ohio smart grid receives PUCO approval
This month, the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio approved AES Ohio’s (formerly Dayton Power & Light) “smart grid” plan. AES Ohio will spend up to $267 million over the next four years on smart meters and self-healing grid technologies capable of responding in real time to service outages and more.
That commission decision approved a settlement agreement that resolves several regulatory cases as well.
AES Ohio estimates that the residential customer using 1,000 kilowatts of electricity per month will see a $0.94 increase in their monthly bill.
Other provisions of the settlement approved resolve annual earnings tests for 2018 and 2019, and a four-year review of AES Ohio’s electric security plan.
Read more about the terms of the settlement, including smart meters, electric vehicle rebates and more.
