Sinagra <br /> Mayor <br /> City of Lakewood <br /> 12650 Detroit Avenue <br /> Lakewood, OH 44107 <br /> Dear Hayor Sinagra: <br /> I am writing to ask for your help in opposing the=~~% residential rate <br /> increase that Cleveland Electric Illuminating now has before the Public <br /> Utilities Commission of Ohio in a $256 million rate case. Most of the <br /> utility's rate request (6.9.5%) is to pay for Perry I Nuclear Plant costs as <br /> can be seen from these key facts: <br /> Impact of Perry I in Case No. 86-2025-F.L-AIR: <br /> Total Requested Increase $256,791,714 <br /> Stated Revenue Deficiency $291,971,029 <br /> Portion Related to Perry I $178,413,040 <br /> % Increase Over <br /> Current Rates <br /> Rate Impact Due to Perry Overall <br /> Residential 15.1% 21.7% <br /> General Commercial 16.6% 23.9% <br /> Large Commercial 15.9% 22.9% <br /> Industrial 13.9% 20.0% <br /> Large Industrial 13.3% 19.1% <br /> Overall 13.9% 20.0% <br /> Dollar Increase on Typical 500 KWfi Monthly Bi11s: <br /> Residential - Perry Costs $ 79.80 per year <br /> Residential - Overall $114.72 per year <br /> Last fall the Office of the Consumers' Counsel intervened in this case <br /> to represent CEI residential consumers. Thus far over $100,000 for <br /> attorneys and expert witness has been expended by Consumers' Counsel for our <br /> case against the CEI rate increase. <br /> Last month I met with a dozen public officials from Cuyahoga, Lake and <br /> Geauga Counties to discuss effective ways for counties and communities to <br /> help oppose:=this rate increase. Local actions include: 1) passing <br /> resolutions; 2) notifying media of opposition; 3) asking fellow public <br /> officials to act; 4) presenting sworn testimony at the early July rate <br /> hearing and; 5) assisting OCC in generating public participation for the <br /> rate hearings. <br /> An Equal Opportunity Employer <br /> <br />
