HB 128 not nearly good enough
The bill was signed the day before April Fools, but we still shouldn't take this "repeal" seriously.
FirstEnergy has agreed to disgorge $26 million it collected under House Bill 6 to customers just after Governor Mike DeWine signed House Bill 128, legislation repealing the nuclear bailout portion of the bill.
The partial repeal of House Bill 6 is a partial win for FirstEnergy because it leaves in place the rollback of Ohio’s renewable energy & energy efficiency standards and still provides subsidies to two Ohio Valley Electric Corporation coal-fired power plants.
