In re Rev. of the Power-Purchase-Agreement Rider of Ohio Power Co. for 2018 and 2019

Summary

The Ohio Supreme Court affirmed the Public Utilities Commission's orders, holding that the commission did not err in its prudency determination, did not violate procedural due process or Adm.Code 4901-1-28(E) by denying a subpoena, and correctly applied the undue‑influence standard rather than an appearance‑of‑impropriety standard. The court rejected all three propositions of law raised by the Office of the Ohio Consumers' Counsel and the Ohio Manufacturers' Association Energy Group.
