Dayton Power & Light "Withdraws" Nonbypassable Rider To Support Generation; Replaces With Proposed Distribution Modernization Rider

Dayton Power and Light has withdrawn its proposed Reliable Electricity Rider (RER), and replaced it with a request for an alternative to the RER, which has been named the Distribution Modernization Rider (DMR).

Originally, as part of a new electric security plan, Dayton Power & Light had sought a nonbypassable Reliable Electricity Rider to maintain the operation of 8,100 MW of coal-fired plants, of which DP&L currently owns a 2,100 MW share (DP&L has since filed to transfer the generation to a competitive affiliate).

DP&L said that it will be filing testimony regarding the newly proposed Distribution Modernization Rider in the future.

With the changes, DP&L stressed that its electric security plan would still retain customers' option to shop for a competitive electric supplier and maintain the 100% competitive bidding structure for non-shopping customers
