Update: The PUCO directed AEP to refile its ESP 3 extension application in a new case. Through its previously filed extension application, AEP requested to, among other things, extend its ESP 3 up through May 31, 2024. The PUCO ruled that AEP must refile the extension application in a new case so as to avoid an unnecessarily extensive and potentially confusing record. Additionally, the PUCO noted that refiling in a new case will eliminate possible confusion for customers.
