Avoid First Energy’s DSE2 Rider Penalty for Non-residential Customers.
FirstEnergy (Ohio Edison, Cleveland Electric Illuminating Co. and Toledo Edison) has implemented a new Rider to their existing Rate Structure known as the Demand Side Management and Energy Efficiency Rider, or DSE2. The DSE2 Rider will charge an additional cost for each kilowatt-hour of electricity consumed by non-residential customers in order to recover the costs associated with peak demand reduction and energy efficiency programs. The fee can be avoided by demonstrating implementation of qualifying energy efficiency projects. Qualifying projects include customer-sited renewables, demand response and peak demand reduction programs, and energy efficiency programs.The DSE2 Rider penalty went into effect in January 2010.
