June 25, 20262026 Ohio 2382

Summary

The Ohio Supreme Court affirmed the Public Utilities Commission’s orders, holding that the commission’s exclusion of expert testimony and the PJM report, its findings on the companies’ burden of proof, its analysis of OVEC’s must‑run commitment strategy, and its compliance with R.C. 4903.09 were not unlawful or unreasonable, and any error in applying a presumption of prudence was harmless. The court rejected all challenges raised by OMAEG and OEC.
