Filing details planned investments to enhance reliability and keep rates predictable AKRON, Ohio, May 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- FirstEnergy electric companies The Illuminating Company, Ohio Edison and Toledo Edison have filed their first Three-Year Rate Plan (TYRP) with the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio (PUCO). The plan supports strengthening the electric system to improve reliability and provides customers with more predictable rate changes.

FirstEnergy (FE) is fundamentally stronger, but its valuation lacks a wide margin of safety due to regulatory risks. Q1 results were solid, with core EPS up 7.5% YoY and 2026 guidance reaffirmed, yet FE trades at ~16.5x forward earnings. The $36B five-year capex plan and data center opportunities hinge on regulatory approvals, with heavy $28B debt and potential dilution remaining concerns.

(NYSE: FE), have asked the Public Service Commission of West Virginia (PSC) to review electric rates so the companies can keep investing in a safe, reliable electric system that is better prepared for severe weather, while keeping costs in mind.
