Ohio Supreme Court upholds utility commission decision allowing coal plant bailout fee
The Ohio Supreme Court upheld a utility commission decision allowing a fee to bailout coal plants, despite challenges claiming it led to $115 million in overcharges. The fee originated from Ohio House Bill 6, later repealed in 2025, and was tied to a bribery scandal. The court ruled the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio's (PUCO) cost determinations were justified.
