FE 2022 Annual Report

Regulated Distribution — 2022 Compared with 2021 Regulated Distribution's net income decreased $331 million in 2022, as compared to 2021, primarily resulting from higher other operating expenses, customer rate credits associated with the PUCO-approved Ohio Stipulation, change in pension and OPEB mark-to-market adjustments, and higher pension and OPEB expenses, partially offset by higher weather-related usage, rider revenues from capital investment programs, as well as the absence of a $27 million refund for previously collected decoupling revenues in Ohio, with interest.
