Electricity prices in central Ohio have already risen 40% faster than inflation, and thousands of residents are struggling to keep up. Yet AEP Ohio, a corporation that continues to post strong profits, is asking PUCO for permission to raise rates even higher. This means more families forced to choose between keeping the lights on and paying for food, rent, or medicine.
It’s time to say enough is enough. PUCO must stand with Ohio’s residents, not corporate shareholders.
