Recovers Renewable Energy Credit (REC) procurement costs for compliance with Ohio Revised Code §4928.64. Bypassable when shopping.
📜 History & Background
The Alternative Energy Resource (AER) rider recovers costs associated with securing compliance with Ohio's Alternative Energy Resource standard under R.C. §4928.64, including the cost of Renewable Energy Credits (RECs) purchased on the customer's behalf, the administrative cost of running the procurement, and applicable carrying costs.
⚙️ How It Works
The rider is reconciled quarterly. The current rate is approximately 0.0861¢/kWh.
✓ If You Switch Suppliers
Bypassable — because REC compliance follows generation supply, the AER rider does not apply during the period a customer takes generation from a certified supplier.
