Recovers costs of distribution infrastructure investments.
📜 History & Background
AES Ohio's Infrastructure Investment Rider (D29) recovers costs of distribution infrastructure investments approved by PUCO. Ohio utilities can seek approval for infrastructure investment riders to recover capital costs between rate cases, avoiding the need for frequent full rate proceedings. D29 was established in AES Ohio's rate case and became effective April 1, 2026. It covers a defined set of distribution infrastructure improvements — pole replacements, line upgrades, substation work — that fall within the rider's approved scope.
⚙️ How It Works
A fixed monthly charge of $1.87/month per residential customer (rather than a per-kWh charge) that recovers capital costs for specific approved distribution projects. Fixed charges ensure cost recovery regardless of seasonal consumption variation.
🔒 If You Switch Suppliers
Non-bypassable — distribution infrastructure costs apply to all customers on the AES Ohio distribution system.
