Tuesday, August 10, 7:30-8:30pm, this on-line event requires advance registration

Join us for a monthly meeting to take action in the Beyond Coal Campaign. We are organizing to stop fossil fuels and to move towards a renewable, just, and equitable future! This meeting will focus on a campaign to request that the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio [PUCO] protect Ohioans from unjust coal plant bailouts.

Currently, Ohioans are shelling out $233,000 a day to bail out the OVEC [Ohio Valley Electric Corporation] coal plants — Kyger Creek in Ohio and Clifty Creek in Indiana — and subsidize the shareholder profits of AEP, Duke, and AES Ohio (formerly Dayton Power and Light).

FirstEnergy customers are now paying for these plants as well. In 2020, the PUCO audited this corporate bailout and found that the OVEC plants are not just financial losers that will continue to cost customers every single month but that they’re also being run inefficiently, in ways that cost customers even more money.

The PUCO has the legal duty to limit the costs passed on to customers due to the imprudent operation and management of the OVEC coal plants. Join the Ohio Beyond Coal team to learn more about how to take action and hold the PUCO accountable.
