COLUMBUS—State
Representative Kristina Roegner (R-Hudson), co-chair of the Energy
Mandates Study Committee, today released the report on the committee,
which outlines its findings and recommendations.
Rep. Roegner released the following statement regarding the report:
“I’m
happy today to present the report on the findings and recommendations
from the Energy Mandates Study Committee, which is the result of
testimony from experts and
Ohio citizens, in-depth research on the topic of government energy
mandates, and thorough discussion regarding best practices for energy
policy.
The
findings indicate various recommendations for how the legislature can
assist in continuing on the most cost-effective pathway for Ohio
ratepayers, and I look forward
to furthering the conversation with my colleagues in the House and
Senate to see what legislation could be possible as a result of these
findings.”
The committee was created through Substitute Senate Bill 310 of the 130th
General Assembly. Consisting of a bipartisan panel of members from both
the House and Senate, and the chairperson
of the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio (PUCO), the study committee
was tasked with studying Ohio’s renewable energy, energy efficiency, and
peak demand reduction mandates enacted into law by Amended Substitute
Senate Bill 221 of the 127th General
Assembly.
