DPL Joins Alliance RTO

LCG, Dec. 1, 2000--DPL Inc., parent company for Dayton Power & Light Co., said this morning that it had completed the paperwork and was now official a member of the Alliance Regional Transmission Organization.

"The Alliance RTO will maintain the reliability and affordability that has been built into the DPLsystem over the last ninety years," said Allen Hill, chief executive of the utility holding company. "We reviewed a number of alternatives and decided that the Alliance RTO was the best option for our customers."
