AES Ohio Seeks To Move Price To Compare Message To First Page Of BillUtility Gas Billing Matters
AES Ohio Files Application To Redesign Customer Bills Including PTC Changes
AES Ohio has petitioned the Ohio Public Utility Commission (PUCO) to move the price to compare (PTC) messaging from the second page to the first page of the customer’s bill. AES Ohio proposed the new bill formats as part of its upgrade to its CIS.
According to AES application, the (PTC) message on a utility’s bills would be moved to the first page of the bill for most customers. Moreover, the PTC language would no longer have its own box or heading stating “Price-to-Compare Message”.
Under Ohio PUC rules, new bill formats in Ohio are automatically approved after 45 days unless PUCO otherwise suspends the automatic approval process.
For utility consolidated bills of residential customers on competitive retail supply, the language concerning the price to compare would remain on the second page of the bill, with no change in the message’s language. However, for these customers, the price to compare language would be moved to the “Service Level Message Center” and grouped with other messages. The specific heading and box titled “Price-to-Compare Message” would be removed from residential choice bills.
