Update: On June 2, 2015, a prehearing conference took place in which several procedural issues were addressed. An important outcome of the prehearing conference was that discovery was permitted pertaining to new supplemental stipulations. Intervenors are also permitted to file supplemental testimony addressing new issues arising from the supplemental stipulation(s).

On June 4, 2015, FirstEnergy, the other previous signatory parties to the stipulation, and Kroger filed a second supplemental stipulation and recommendation which establishes a time of use rate for certain high load factor customers, including Kroger. FirstEnergy contends that the rate will provide qualifying customers with an opportunity to reduce their overall energy bills and to learn more about time-of-use rates. Recovery of the difference, if any, between revenues collected to provide the time of use generation service and the cost associated with providing this generation service would be recovered in Rider GCR. FirstEnergy also filed additional supplemental testimony in support of the second supplemental stipulation.
