Show up and speak out in opposition to AEP’s request for a rate increase
People all around the country have been feeling the squeeze of higher electricity bills and here in Ohio is no different. AEP is currently asking for another rate increase and we at the OEC oppose this increase without putting more guardrails on AEP Ohio’s spending.
But we need your help! We are asking our members to attend public meetings and share public comments opposing this increase .
