THREAD: With yesterday's bombshell news about Speaker Householder and friends, I thought it might be interesting to revisit some of Company A... err... FirstEnergy's earlier attempts to secure customer bailouts for its uneconomic coal and nuclear plants.
As complaint lays out, the 2016 financial prospects for FirstEnergy's nuclear plants--Davis-Besse and Perry--were grim. That's true but the prospects had already been bad for a while, at least at Davis-Besse (and the Sammis coal plant) and that led FE to look to the PUCO.
In late summer 2014, FirstEnergy filed at PUCO (case 14-1297) to secure customer funded bailouts for Davis-Besse, Sammis, and the company's affiliate stake in the OVEC coal plants. This was part of a series of Ohio regulated utilities seeking bailouts for uneconomic generation.
