FirstEnergy asked to revamp light bulb plan

COLUMBUS — Ohio regulators are giving FirstEnergy Corp. until Nov. 30 to propose a new energy-efficient light bulb program that won’t spark controversy.

After a public backlash, FirstEnergy pulled back on its initial plan to charge customers 60 cents a month for three years — for a total of $21.60 — for the cost and distribution of two compact fluorescent light bulbs and for electricity sales lost through their use.
