PUCO approved AEP's rate request, but we will not slow down. Columbus Stand Up! continues to fight AEP's profiteering. Sign this petition to stay in the loop as we continue to fight for fair utility regulation.

Electricity prices in central Ohio have risen at an unsustainable pace, outpacing inflation by 40%. For some families, this means choosing between paying the electric bill and putting food on the table. For seniors and low-income residents, it means risking unsafe temperatures in their homes. And for small businesses, it can mean layoffs. The reality is inflated electricity costs are taking away money from all central Ohio residents managing a U.S. affordability crisis.

Despite the growing burden on central Ohio residents, AEP Ohio requested that the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio (PUCO) approve yet another rate increase, as the Wall Street utility continued to report substantial profits and reward shareholders. It’s time for PUCO to stand with residents and small businesses.
