For example, Dynegy states in its filing: "With great fanfare and widespread media coverage, the Northeast Ohio Public Energy Council (NOPEC) publicly promised 'savings' for 550,000 Ohio customers — before asking the Commission for the rule change necessary for its scheme to work. By making public announcements and implementing a press campaign first, then asking the Commission for permission later, NOPEC brazenly seeks to force the Commission into granting its waiver request without scrutinizing its motives or actions here, much less its compliance with Ohio's rules."
