“Regrettably, DP&L has already collected more than a quarter-billion dollars from consumers for a charge that the Ohio Supreme Court has now found to be unlawful,” Dan Doron, a spokesman for the Ohio Consumers’ Counsel, said in an email Tuesday.
“Time is of the essence to stop DP&L’s charges, especially because DP&L will not likely be required to refund the money to consumers,” he added.
Matt Schilling, a spokesman for PUCO, said the commission will take action “sooner rather than later.”
“No movement yet,” he said. “The PUCO will have to take some action, I expect sooner rather than later, but I hesitate to give any sort of timeframe.”
The counsel’s office wants to stop the charge, which costs the average DP&L customer about $5 a month.
