OH Passes Bill (Now Law) to Encourage More Gas-Fired Power Plants

In February, MDN told you about a proposed new bill in Ohio, House Bill (HB) 15, which makes significant changes to state energy policy to encourage the development of more in-state electric generation by making it easier (and more cost-effective) to build gas-fired power (see OH Legislators, New Bill, Encourage More Gas-Fired Power Plants). The bill aims to boost power generation, specifically dispatchable power, in Ohio while improving affordability for ratepayers and increasing reliability within the state’s electrical grid. HB 15 supports market forces in the energy sector, removes barriers to new electricity generation development in Ohio, and protects ratepayers from unnecessary costs. On April 30, the Ohio legislature voted to pass HB 15. It didn't take Republican Governor Mike DeWine long to sign it into law.
