No Takers on PUC’s “Amnesty Offer” to Rectify Missed Fiscal Assessment Reports

No regulated entities, including retail suppliers or brokers took advantage of the April 14, 2026 “amnesty offer” for missing fiscal assessment reports must be filed June 12, 2026.

As reported previously, on May 13, 2026, the Ohio PUC issued a Finding and Order directing all regulated entities and retail service providers who have not remitted their fiscal assessment based on the 2023 and/or 2024 report to do so by June 12, 2026; and, pursuant to R.C. 4905.54 and R.C. 4905.84, assesses a civil forfeiture of $1,000 against every company listed in the attachments to this Finding and Order that fails to comply with this Finding and Order.

Regulated entities, including natural gas and electricity suppliers, must make an annual filing, which will be used by PUCO to determine the supplier’s annual assessment amount. The filing must be completed through the PUCO Community online system, and generally consists of a company’s financial information, including the intrastate gross revenue, verification, and any updates the docketing contact, service of process contact, and the fiscal contact, who will receive and have authority to pay the annual fiscal assessment invoices.
