Electric Deregulation - Let Your Voice Be Heard!
As you may be aware, Ohio has been continuing down the path of electric deregulation. When electric deregulation went into effect in other states that have gone down this route, electric rates have increased greatly. Since Governor Strickland took the top job, he has charted a different course attempting to control the increase in rates. If you closed on your home prior to January 1, 2007, you may have a unique situation in the state whereby you have a reduced electric rate than others using electricity. It is time for your voice to be heard to make people involved in the decision making process aware of our situation.

State Representative Matt Lundy
77 South High Street, 11th Floor
Columbus, Ohio 43215
Dear ;
I am concerned about the deregulation of electric rates and the impact that it will have on my finances. I am currently served by First Energy and I have an all electric home. Since my home’s energy is only supplied by electricity, I enjoy a discounted rate for my energy usage but I am held hostage by my supplier as well since I do not have an alternative for energy supply. Electric deregulation has the potential to increase my electric bills more than 66%.
I am not alone in my plight as there are over three hundred thousand all electric homes throughout our state. Since we are individuals, we do not have high priced lawyers or lobbyists at our disposal. Therefore, we must rely on you to protect our interests.
Please do not allow us to be held hostage by First Energy. Increases in our electric bills will have a negative impact on our local and state economies and force those on fixed incomes to consider fleeing the state.
Please contact me if you have any questions.
Very Truly Yours,
