Update:  On September 23, 2014, Ohio Environmental Council and the Environmental Law and Policy Center filed a renewed motion and memorandum requesting a determination that collaborative materials are not confidential.  On September 29, 2014, FirstEnergy filed a memorandum contra the renewed motion, arguing that the moving parties have offered no reason in their renewed motion why the confidentiality of collaborative proceedings should be breached.

On September 29, 2014, the Commission issued an entry setting a procedural schedule for consideration of FirstEnergy’s application for approval of its amended energy efficiency and peak demand reduction plans for 2015 through 2016.  Pursuant to the entry, motions to intervene and comments on the amended plans are due on October 20, 2014.  Reply comments are due October 27, 2014.
