📜 History & Background
AES Ohio's Distribution Investment Rider (D36) covers major distribution system investments approved in AES Ohio's rate case. Unlike D29 (Infrastructure Investment) and D32 (PRO Reliability), D36 is specifically tied to larger, strategic distribution system upgrades — substation capacity additions, feeder reconfiguration, and major system improvement projects that go beyond routine maintenance. The rider was approved as part of AES Ohio's most recent rate case settlement and became effective April 1, 2026.
⚙️ How It Works
A fixed monthly charge of $3.33/month per residential customer — the largest of AES Ohio's fixed monthly riders. It covers capital expenditures for major distribution system investments over the rider's term.
🔒 If You Switch Suppliers
Non-bypassable — major distribution investment costs are shared across all customers on the system.
