 Most groups in the coalition cited safety concerns and project mismanagement, but OPIC highlighted injustice to consumers who were paying Construction Work in Progress (CWIP) fees for a plant from which they had used no energy.By 1984, the Cincinnati Gas & Electric Company announced it would convert Zimmer to burn coal, instead of running the risk the plant would fail to secure a federal operating license after numerous cost overruns.When Ohio’s investor-owned utilities pushed to deregulate the electricity markets, Ohio Citizen Action helped write the “community choice” provision of the 1999 deregulation law, which allowed local governments to aggregate residents into a single buying group that could solicit competitive bids and save residents money.
