Randazzo has not been charged with a crime, nor have any corporate officials from FirstEnergy.

The “vast majority” of the settlements range between $10 and $20 for residential customers, according to plaintiff’s counsel Dennis Murray Jr. For commercial users, the settlement is all over the place, he said. Two readers have reached out to Cleveland.com and The Plain Dealer after receiving word of settlement values for less than $8. Another sent a screenshot of his settlement for $1.. U.S. District Judge Edmund Sargus Jr.

Of the money, $37.5 million came from FirstEnergy. The other $11.5 million comes from Energy Harbor, the former FirstEnergy subsidiary that operated two Ohio nuclear plants that were to be bailed out by the legislation.
