The following story is brought free of charge to readers by VertexOne, the exclusive EDI provider of EnergyChoiceMatters.com

The PUC of Ohio set the alternative compliance payment as $67.67/MWh for 2026, as derived under R.C. 4928.64(C)(2)(b)

Generally, the annual ACP adjustment is based on the consumer price index, but statute also enables the Commission to increase the alternative compliance payment level if utilities and retail suppliers are defaulting to the ACPs rather than purchasing the requisite renewable resources

Following a Staff recommendation, PUCO did not increase the ACP beyond the $67.67/MWh price which results from the standard CPI calculation

Case 26-0682-EL-ACP, 26-682-EL-ACP
