On Thursday, August 20, the City of Lakewood filed a motion to intervene in FirstEnergy’s application to increase customer rates before the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio (PUCO).
Mayor Meghan F. George commented, “It is unconscionable that the power company that cannot provide reliable consistent power to our residents and businesses of Lakewood is now asking PUCO for permission to increase rates. The City opposes this and will fight with every resource available to us.”
