Syllabus

The trial court did not err in granting the motion of AEP to dismiss NEP's claims based on Civ.R.12(B)(1). All of NEP's claims, including its ostensible Valentine's Act claims, are premised upon the provision – or refusal thereof – of electric service within AEP's territory, and are thus service-related issues. Service-related issues are within the exclusive jurisdiction of PUCO therefore, the trial court lacks subject matter jurisdiction over NEPs claims. Judgment affirmed.
