Meyer

The board of directors of the Ohio Electric Utility Institute (OEUI) elected Floyd W. Nickerson, AEP Ohio president, as its chairman. In addition, Arthur G. Meyer, vice president of legal and corporate affairs at Dayton Power and Light, was elected vice chairman of OEUI. As chairman, Nickerson will preside over OEUI’s board, which is responsible for setting policy for the non-profit state trade association. OEUI represents Ohio’s five investor-owned electric companies, which provide electricity to 4.5 million customers, nearly 90% of the state’s electric users. “With Ohio moving to electric restructuring starting this year, OEUI will continue to work closely with state officials to accomplish a smooth transition to competition in Ohio’s electric industry,” said Nickerson.
