OCC Finds Fault with PUCO’s Gas Reconnection Rules

In an effort to help consumers in the state of Ohio this winter, the Ohio Consumers’ Counsel (OCC) said it has requested that the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio (PUCO) “reconsider” part of an order issued Oct. 16.

For 60 days, the order allows all natural gas and electric public utilities to take up to three days to reconnect certain customers currently without heat.
