FirstEnergy is asking Ohio regulators for permission to take longer to fix power outages and allow more interruptions each year for Akron-area customers. If approved, the average response time could go up by over three minutes, and you might see more outages annually. Local officials are pushing back, worried about the impact on families and businesses. FirstEnergy says weather and tree issues are making it tough to meet current standards. How do you feel about possibly waiting longer for your power to come back? Would you accept more outages if it meant better long-term reliability? #Business #Industry #Akron
