Causes: Business & Industry
Mission: Ohio advanced energy economy's mission is to build and foster a robust advanced energy economy, drive technology innovation and implementation and position ohio as a global leader by enhancing and aligning existing business networks and assets.
Programs: Ohio aee has worked in 2014 to educate public policymakers and business leaders on the continued benefits of ohio's renewable portfolio standard and energy efficiency resource standard. Ohio senate bill 310 would freeze those standards, leading to increased electricity costs for all ratepayers and the stagnation of ohio's in-state renewable energy industry. Working with a broad based coalition and generating fact-based analysis, ohio aee has established itself as the "go-to" organization for objective information on ohio's advanced energy industry. Ohio aee has also intervened in puco cases pertaining to requests by first energy and aep to enter into long-term ppas with their uncompetitive coal and nuclear generation plants. Decisions on those requests were postponed into 2015. Coalition building has been a highly successful strategy for policy defense and development. Ohio aee has successfully built relationships/partnerships with the ohio manufacturers association, council for small business enterprises, ohio fuel cell coalition, investor-owned utilities, and several environmental groups. Ohio aee presented the second annual "ohio's energy future" symposium in november. The symposium featured a public policy plenary session panel that included key legislators as well as the puco commissioner leading the commission's work on 111(d).
