Power Siting Rules and Statutes

Procedural Filing Requirements

On November 18, 2010, the Ohio Power Siting Board issued an entry in Case No.10-2404-GE-WVR to permit Electronic Filing in all Power Siting cases. Hard copy requirements are waived except for certificate applications under Rule 4906-1-11(B), O.A.C. For certificate applications, e-filers must still provide 25 copies along with a cover letter notifying the Docketing Division that the application was e-filed.

For more detailed information and instructions on e-filing and requirements for hard copy submission, please see Electronic Filing
