DP&L
requests a rate hike.
"Dayton Power & Light customers may be on the hook for millions of
dollars in extra fees on their monthly electric bills if the Public
Utilities Commission of Ohio grants requests that consumer advocates say
are related to maneuvering done to minimize the effects of
deregulation."
If DP&L has to ask for a rate hike, it's bit deregulated.
"The deregulation law required electric utilities to transition from
state regulated monopolies to businesses that vie for customers in a
competitive market. The thinking was that competition brings lower
prices, which benefits consumers.
However, the switch to a competitive market has taken far longer than
initially expected, and OCC is accusing DP&L of purposely causing
delays in order to collect more fees."
Well, duh.
"“Basically, DP&L is asking the PUCO to delay its full transition to
market until it can make more profit and have its customers pay more.
That’s a bad idea for Ohioans.”"
Ordering a company to sell assets isn't deregulation either.
