COLUMBUS — “Renewable-energy requirements would become optional for the next three years under a bill passed today by the Ohio House.
House Bill 554, which is opposed by renewable-energy companies and environmental advocates, now heads to the Senate, where leaders expect it to pass before the session ends this week.
Opponents are holding out hope that Gov. John Kasich will veto the bill, noting his recent statements that he opposes these types of changes to renewable-energy rules.
The measure, which passed the House 51-36, makes changes to clean-energy standards that have been in place since 2008 but were halted by a two-year freeze that Kasich signed in 2014.”
