  • Firstenergy's History of Bad Business Decisions
    FirstEnergy’s history of bad business decisions Risky beginning In 1997, Ohio Edison changed its name to FirstEnergy when it acquired Centerior Energy, becoming the 11th largest electric utility in the country, serving 2.2 million customers in northern Ohio and western Pennsylvania. Centerior had invested in three expensive nuclear power plants, just about the time that the Three Mile Island accident in 1979 drove up the cost for these plants. Centerior cancelled one of the nuclear plants in 1994, slashed its dividend, and took a $1 billion write-off. Despite such troubles, and the threat of additional problems at reactors, Ohio Edison bailed out Centerior with the 1997 merger. With this risky investment, FirstEnergy was born. Safety violations FirstEnergy has made repeated mistakes with its poor safety record, as evidenced by its frequent citations from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) for safety violations. In 2002, FirstEnergy narrowly averted disaster at the Davis-Besse reactor. The NRC had set a 2001 deadline for a crucial safety inspection, but FirstEnergy pushed it back to 2002, when the plant was scheduled to close for refueling. The NRC found a coolant leak from the reactor core had caused a gaping hole in the reactor cover, eating away six inches of the 6½-inch thick steel plate. The NRC also found a host of defective welds. FirstEnergy had to shut the plant down for two years for repairs. Poor oversight High costs for nuclear maintenance and safety led FirstEnergy to cut costs in other areas, like its tree trimming budget. In 2003, FirstEnergy inadvertently turned out the lights on the eastern U.S.

Hawaiian Electric Co. NSTAR Pepco Holdings, Inc. Jack Richards Thomas B. Magee Matthew M. DeTura Keller and Heckman LLP 1001 G Street, N.W., Suite 500 West Washington, DC 20001 (202) 434-4100 (telephone) (202) 434-4646 (fax) Counsel to Coalition of Concerned Utilities Dated: June 8, 2011 SUMMARY The Coalition of Concerned Utilities serves more than 17.5 million electric customers in 10 states and the District of Columbia and owns, in whole or in part, approximately 8.1 million electric distribution poles. We urge the Commission to reconsider its April 7 Order in the hope that specific aspects will be made more workable for the electric utility industry. Absent reconsideration, many utilities will be unable as a practical matter to comply with the Commission’s new pole attachment requirements without serious adverse impact to the safety and reliability of electric service provided to the public. Numerous complaints likely will be filed with the Commission. Make-Ready Deadlines. The new and unprecedented make-ready deadlines are unworkable and unwise and should be fundamentally reconsidered by the Commission or at a minimum revised to better recognize utility operational constraints. To bring the make-ready deadlines more into line with the reality of electric utility operations, the Coalition proposes that the lower limit on the number of attachment requests subject to the deadlines be reduced from 300 to 100 poles, and the upper limit reduced from 3,000 to 500 poles.
