ohio energy
Ohio has been deregulated since 2001, allowing residents and businesses to shop for their electricity supplier. Ohioans enjoy the benefits of this market, including competitive prices, choice of contract term lengths, renewable energy options and superior customer service.
The Public Utilities Commission of Ohio’s (PUCO) Apples to Apples Electric website allows consumers to find a plan that best fits their needs and budget. Customers can view offers from energy suppliers sorted by price, rate type, renewable content (Ohioans have access to nuclear, wind, hydroelectric, solar and biomass power), term length, fees and promotional offers.
Choosing an Ohio electricity supplier can be done in a matter of minutes online. All it takes is a few pieces of information, like your zip code and a recent electric bill, to compare different energy plans and rates to find the right one for you.
The most common electricity generation sources in Ohio include natural gas and coal, but a growing number of companies offer green energy plans as well. The most popular plan type in Ohio is the fixed rate, which offers a steady monthly charge for energy that does not fluctuate based on the wholesale cost of electricity. Other popular choices are variable rate plans and plans with varying term lengths. With so many choices and the ability to switch in just a few minutes, finding an electricity provider that makes sense for you has never been easier.
