On August 12, 2010, the Office of the Ohio Consumers' Counsel filed a complaint against the First Energy electric distribution companies (FirstEnergy) alleging violations of Ohio's "net-metering rules, and interconnection rules by enforcing interconnection standards that are unduly burdensome and expensive." In particular, the complaint alleges that FirstEnergy: 1) has made it unduly burdensome for five (5) customers to interconnect their small wind turbines to FirstEnergy's distribution system; and 2) included language in its net metering application that violates Ohio's net metering policies. FirstEnergy will have 20 days to respond to the complaint. A copy of the complaint can be found here.
