Untangling the FirstEnergy scandal: A guided tour of the biggest corruption case in Ohio history

September 14, 2021 • Fresh Energy • Season 2 • Episode 13

In 2020, the FBI revealed details of a $60 million corruption case that has so far led to multiple arrests, including Ohio House speaker Larry Householder, and the resignation of the state’s top utility regulator.

Join Energy News Network, journalists, and advocates from Ohio as we walk through the tangled web of dark money and back-door dealmaking that helped the state’s largest utility secure multiple bailouts while hamstringing efforts to advance clean energy.

This event was hosted by Fresh Energy and Energy News Network on September 14, 2021, in partnership with Eye on Ohio, Energy and Policy Institute, and the Ohio Environmental Council. The event will be moderated by Ken Paulman, director of the Energy News Network. Panelists include Kathiann Kowalski of Energy News Network, Lucia Walinchus of Eye on Ohio, Dave Anderson of Energy and Policy Institute, and Randi Leppla of the Ohio Environmental Council.
