PUC In Retail Choice State Opens Review Of Whether EV Charging Providers Are Utilities, Light Co.

February 27,2020



The Public Utilities Commission of Ohio opened an inquiry into the regulation of electric vehicle charging providers

R.C. 4905.02 provides, in relevant part, that "public utility" includes every corporation, company, copartnership, person, or association, the lessees, trustees, or receivers of the foregoing, defined in section 4905.03 of the Revised Code, except an electric light company that operates its utility not for profit and except for a public utility that is owned or operated by any municipal corporation. R.C. 4903.05 defines an "electric light company" as a person, firm, copartnership, voluntary association, joint-stock association, company, or corporation, wherever organized or incorporated, "engaged in the business of supplying electricity for light, heat, or power purposes to consumers within this state."

PUCO stated, "The Commission notes that Staff has consistently taken the position that entities which provide electric vehicle charging service are neither electric light companies nor public utilities in this state. However, the Commission has never been presented with this issue. Accordingly, the Commission seeks comments on whether any person, firm, copartnership, voluntary association, joint-stock association, company, or corporation, wherever organized or incorporated, which is providing Electric Vehicle charging service in this state, is 'engaged in the business of supplying electricity for light, heat, or power purposes to consumers within this state.'"

Case No. 20-434-EL-COI
