  STATEMENT RE: HOUSE BILL 6 FROM RAJA SUNDARARAJAN, AEP OHIO PRESIDENT AND COO
  We welcome the introduction of HB 6 and the Ohio House Leadership's focus and efforts on addressing key energy policy issues that have plagued Ohio and understand the urgency to provide clarity on the future on FES's nuclear plants. We look forward to working with lawmakers during the process to achieve a balanced energy bill that provides benefits to all customers in Ohio. Our customers have overwhelmingly indicated their preference for clean energy resources and energy efficiency programs. Since the stated goal of the legislation is to encourage renewable generation, we are confident we will find an agreeable path to replacing the current renewable mandate in a way that promotes the continued use of these clean energy investments in the state.
