State rules

Base-rate reviews and adjustment mechanisms in Ohio

This docket is a full base-rate review. Selected charges can change on separate schedules without reopening every issue in this case.

Full base-rate review

Every three years beginning by year-end 2029

Effective Aug 14, 2025

Each electric distribution utility must file a distribution rate case by December 31, 2029 and at least every three years thereafter.

Rate period: A utility may use a conventional 12-month test period or propose three consecutive 12-month forecasted rate years with annual true-ups.

Governing rule ↗

Between full reviews

Transmission Cost Recovery Rider

Annual update

The TCRR passes approved transmission-related charges through a reconcilable rider. Utilities file annual updates under the PUCO's rider rules.

Governing source ↗

Electric Security Plan riders

Plan- and rider-specific

An approved electric security plan can include infrastructure, modernization, and other riders with their own update and review schedules rather than waiting for the next distribution base-rate case.
