Consumers may also submit comments online at www.PUCO.ohio.gov or by mail to 180 E. Broad St., Columbus, OH 43215. Correspondence should include the case number 16-395-EL-SSO.

An evidentiary hearing in Columbus is scheduled for 10 a.m. Oct. 26, at the PUCO offices in Columbus.

On Feb 22, DP&L filed an application for an electric security plan to be in effect from January 2017 through December 2026. The proposed plan would increase the bill of an average DP&L residential customer, using 1,000 kilowatt hours per month, by $1.21.

A kilowatt-hour is enough power to cook breakfast for a family of four or to use a computer for several hours.
