Last week, the OMA issued a statement in response to AEP Ohio’s proposal at the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio (PUCO) to establish a new rate class for data centers.

The proposal would create two new classes of customers without evidence of need and without a proper cost of service study, setting a discriminatory precedent against one business type. The OMA Energy Group has filed testimony in the case urging the PUCO to reject AEP Ohio’s proposal, which is unreasonable and anti-competitive. 10/17/2024
