This credit will pass on to customers 100 percent of the tax savings East Ohio (Dominion Energy Ohio) gained through federal tax reform, which became effective January 1, 2018.
On October 24, 2018, the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio (PUCO) ordered public utilities to file applications by January 1, 2019 proposing the manner in which tax savings would be passed through to customers. In compliance with the PUCO order, Dominion Energy Ohio filed its application in Case No. 18-1908-GA-UNC. The PUCO approved a settlement agreement in December 2019 setting forth the amounts to be passed on to customers through the Tax Savings Credit.
The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) of 2017 enacted in December 2017 reduced the corporate income tax rate from 35 percent to 21 percent effective January 1, 2018.
The tax credit began with the April 2020 bill and is expected to continue for a number of years. Dominion Energy Ohio will apply the tax credit until the next time new base rates are approved. At that time, the tax savings will be incorporated into the new base rates.
