About ESP

On March 23, 2010, Ohio Edison, The Cleveland Electric Illuminating Company and Toledo Edison filed a stipulated Electric Security Plan (ESP) with the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio (PUCO). The stipulated ESP has the support of a broad and diverse number of parties including the PUCO Staff, the Ohio Schools Council, the City of Cleveland, Ohio Partners for Affordable Energy, hospitals, manufacturers and competitive electricity suppliers.

Under the Plan, which would cover the period of June 1, 2011 through May 31, 2014, a competitive bidding process (CBP) would be used to establish generation supply and pricing for customers who do not choose alternative suppliers.
