## Resource

Ohio’s Public Utilities Commission just rolled out a major overhaul for how electric companies request rate hikes — ditching old, fragmented methods for a single, forward-looking forecast based on expected costs over three years. While proponents say this boosts predictability and keeps pace with changing costs, critics warn utilities might game the system with inflated projections, and refunds for overcharges aren’t guaranteed. Consumer advocates pushed for safeguards like interest on overcharges or automatic refunds, but the commission rejected those. They also lost out on immediate access to financial documents, citing trade secrets — though they did win stricter testimony rules and mandatory detailed forecasting. The real test? Whether this new system delivers the transparency promised — or just more complexity as demand and the grid evolve.
