Township administrator warns Duke Energy transmission-rate filing could raise household bills in 2027
Summary
Administrator Skyler told the council Duke Energy has applied to the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio to raise transmission rates; the administrator estimated the change could add about $8 per month to many households if approved and implemented in 2027.
Administrator Skyler told the Delhi Hills Town Council on March 11 that Duke Energy has filed an application with the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio seeking higher transmission/distribution rates. Skyler cautioned that if the application is approved and the increase implemented in 2027, many households could see an increase of roughly $8 per month, though the actual impact depends on individual household usage.
Skyler clarified the filing pertains to the distribution/transmission side of the electric bill and is separate from electricity-supply aggregation decisions. He urged residents to be aware that the change would be regional — not limited to Delhi Hills — and said the administration will provide updates during future meetings as the PUCO process develops.
The council did not vote on any policy related to the filing; the report was informational. Skyler said the town's energy-aggregation work remains active and will be discussed in upcoming reports.
