Update: On September 18, 2014, DP&L filed a notice of cross-appeal with the Supreme Court of Ohio, arguing that the Commission’s decisions should be reversed on the following grounds: (1) the Commission may not limit the amount of a stability charge that DP&L would seek in a future proceeding; (2) the five conditions imposed by the Commission for DP&L to recover the Service Stability Rider Extension (SSR-E) are not grounded in statute; (3) the Commission’s decision to condition DP&L’s recovery of the SSR-E on the implementation of Advanced Metering Infrastructure and Smartgrid is unsupported by the record; (4) the Commission’s deadline for DP&L to file a distribution rate case as a condition for implementing the SSR-E is unreasonable and should be extended; (5) the decisions are unlawful and unreasonable because the Commission accelerated its original deadline for DP&L to transfer its generation assets from May 31, 2017 to January 1, 2017; and (6) the decisions are unlawful and unreasonable because they accelerated blending in the competitive bidding process both from the blending schedule proposed by DP&L and from the schedule originally established by the Commission.
