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.

Despite the growing burden on central Ohio residents, AEP is requesting that the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio (PUCO) approve yet another rate increase, as the Wall Street utility continues to report substantial profits and reward shareholders. It’s time for PUCO to stand with residents and small businesses and say no to AEP’s proposed increase.

Let’s send a clear message: Central Ohioans are done paying more for less. It’s time to say lights out on AEP.

Currently, we are awaiting PUCO’s decision about AEP’s latest rate case but you can still sign our petition to tell PUCO to say NO!
