Introduced Text

Ohio HB427 allows electric distribution utilities to create voluntary demand response programs for residential and small commercial customers.

Ohio HB427 amends the state's Revised Code to authorize electric distribution utilities to establish voluntary demand response programs for residential and small commercial customers. These programs aim to reduce energy demand during peak times, enhancing grid reliability and potentially lowering customer rates. Utilities can take actions such as adjusting thermostats or cycling appliances to manage demand. Customers can override these actions but may face restrictions on future participation if they do.
