flag AEP Ohio seeks approval for a rate plan giving customers a $1.22 monthly credit for 18 months, citing tax savings, but critics call it a disguised rate hike.

flag AEP Ohio proposes a rate settlement that would give the average 1,000-kWh customer a $1.22 monthly credit for 18 months by applying unused tax savings credits, claiming it prevents a 68-cent monthly bill increase. flag The utility attributes rising costs to aging infrastructure and data center demand, noting a prior tariff on data center energy use. flag Consumer advocates and the Ohio Environmental Council dispute the claim, arguing the move disguises a rate hike through accounting tactics, calling it misleading "Wall Street Math" and urging the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio to reject the proposal. flag The PUCO is expected to review the plan in early 2026.
