Debate Comes Against Backdrop of Frozen Energy Standards in
Ohio
The three largest electricity providers in Ohio —
FirstEnergy (the Northeast Ohio-based company we'll focus on here), AEP, and
Duke — are hoping the state will approve individual plans to keep their older
power plants operating. The proposals — "bailouts," essentially, as
critics put it — would lock in fixed-rate contracts for customers,
regardless of fluctuating market price.
