Ohio utility customers will see more money returned following the state’s investigation into the FirstEnergy/House Bill 6 scandal.

The Public Utilities Commission of Ohio has approved a settlement that increases the restitution FirstEnergy’s Ohio utilities must pay customers. The agreement wraps up the commission’s investigations tied to violations of Ohio law and utility regulations.

Under the settlement, FirstEnergy subsidiaries, including The Cleveland Electric Illuminating Company, Ohio Edison, and Toledo Edison, will provide $249 million in customer restitution spread over three billing periods. An additional $20 million will be directed toward low-income assistance programs.

The companies will also refund millions more for improper charges, including interest, and pay restitution related to violations of corporate separation rules. In exchange, all parties have agreed to withdraw pending rehearing requests, officially closing the PUCO cases.

PUCO Chair Jenifer French said the settlement brings finality to the investigations and ensures money is returned directly to customers.
