The Public Utilities Commission of Ohio (PUCO) recently “adopted an agreement to allow AEP-Ohio to continue and expand its energy efficiency and peak demand reduction programs through 2020,” according to a PUCO press release. AEP-Ohio “will offer a variety of programs” to help both residential and commercial customers reduce their energy demand; programs include “efficient product rebates and incentives, appliance recycling programs, in-home energy audits, home weatherization assistance, and various educational and training programs.” The PUCO is responsible for evaluating utilities’ “energy efficiency and peak demand portfolio programs, which must be cost-effective in reducing energy usage or peak demand consistent with state policy.” For more, read the full press release.
