All electricity providers except municipal utilities and electric cooperatives now have until 2027 to obtain 12.5% of their retail power supply versus 2025 as required by the original 2008 mandate.
Affected utilities had been required this year to obtain 2.5% with a solar carve-out of a bit more than one-tenth of one percent of that amount.
Kasich, a Republican, who has said Ohio needs renewable energy as part of its future energy mix, earlier quashed party efforts to do away with the mandate altogether.
