FirstEnergy subsidiaries The Illuminating Company, Ohio Edison and Toledo Edison filed a three-year rate plan with the PUCO proposing average annual infrastructure investments of $800 million. Planned items include $83 million annually for tree trimming and vegetation management, an Energy Assistance Fund ( $4 million starting in 2029) and an Emergency Energy Support Fund ($1 million). The proposed rates would raise the monthly bill of a typical household using about 1,000 kWh per month by an average of 2.2–2.8% per year (Ohio Edison $4.26; The Illuminating Company $5.15; Toledo Edison $5.30). PUCO is reviewing the filing and offering opportunities for public comment; the measure affects only the distribution portion of the bill. » Plus sur de.investing.com
