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.
