Lawmakers pass energy bill ending Ohio ratepayer charges that subsidize two unprofitable coal plants

  • On Wednesday, April 24, 2025, Ohio lawmakers in Columbus approved House Bill 15 to end the subsidy for two unprofitable Ohio Valley Electric Corp. Coal plants.
  • The subsidy originated in 2019’s House Bill 6, which included provisions for these Cold War-era coal plants amid a broader, corruption-tainted energy bailout.
  • The plants, built in the 1950s to power a uranium facility, became unprofitable due to cheaper natural gas and had cost ratepayers about $400,000 daily through 2024.
  • The Ohio Senate passed HB15 unanimously, and the Ohio House approved it 94-2; State Rep. Casey Weinstein called ending the subsidy a ‘victory for ratepayers.’
  • The bill aims to increase utility oversight, enable school energy loans, reduce taxes on power infrastructure, and encourage new generation investments in Ohio’s energy sector.
