Benesch Secures Unanimous Ohio Supreme Court Victory for Leading Utilities in Complex Regulatory Appeal

Benesch is pleased to announce that it has secured a unanimous decision from the Ohio Supreme Court on behalf of clients AEP, Duke Energy and AES Corp. in a significant utility regulatory appeal. The Court’s decision upholds the recovery of prudently incurred costs associated with the continued operation of a coal-fired generation facility, reinforcing the deference afforded to prudency determinations by the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio.

The Benesch team was led by Partner Trevor Alexander, lead of the firm’s energy practice, with key contributions from Partner Mark T. Keaney and Associate Samantha Meng.
