Counsel Works For FE Consumers

The lawyer for FirstEnergy’s 1.8 million residential electric customers in Ohio steps in…to try to assure they get refunds…should state legislators or the courts halt the charges the utility giant was expecting…as part of a now-tainted nuclear bailout bill. Bruce Weston made his request regarding the House Bill 6 charges in a filing with the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio. He said he doesn’t want to see a travesty of justice…similar to 2016, when a half-billion in charges to FirstEnergy ratepayers were found inappropriate and overturned by the Ohio Supreme Court…and no refund was delivered to consumers.
