Senate Bill 221 Energy Efficiency Rider Avoidance
The passage of Ohio Senate Bill 221 puts some very aggressive energy efficiency and renewable generation mandates on Ohio utilities, which ramp up year-after-year, all the way out to 2025. Utilities will be revenue neutral in compliance with these riders, and will pass on all associated costs to their customer base. Customer rider avoidance is possible through implementation of energy efficiency projects and verification of efficiency gains. Proposed costs associated with this rider are expected to be significant, and will likely grow exponentially over time.

Project Management and Funding
Through our partnership with Metheny Inc., Brakey Energy can provides turnkey project management services. Pursuit of third-party funding for energy efficiency projects is also available. Funding examples include grants and/or artificially low interest rate loans which can be paid back through cost avoidance.
