Did you know you can choose your electricity supplier in Ohio? Most Ohioans don't realize they have the power to switch to cheaper rates and save hundreds per year.
Deregulation Explained
Energy Choice Ohio is Ohio's electricity deregulation program that allows residents and businesses to choose their electricity supplier - just like choosing a phone or internet provider.
Since 2001, Ohio law has given consumers the freedom to shop for competitive electricity rates instead of being locked into their utility's default price.
Your local utility (AEP, Duke Energy, AES Ohio, FirstEnergy) still delivers your power and maintains the lines - but you can choose who supplies that electricity at what price.
The Hidden Opportunity
Automatic Default Enrollment
When you move to Ohio, you're automatically enrolled in your utility's default rate - no choice required.
Little Marketing Budget
Utilities don't advertise that you can leave them for cheaper suppliers.
Complex Comparison Tools
Government tools like Apples to Apples Ohio are hard to navigate for average consumers.
Confusing Terminology
Terms like "Price to Compare", "CRES suppliers", and "SSO rates" intimidate most people.
With Energy Choice Ohio, you're not stuck with your utility's default rate. Here's how it works:
Ohio has dozens of certified electricity suppliers competing for your business with lower rates than your utility's default price.
Pick a plan with a lower rate than your utility's "Price to Compare" - this is where your savings come from.
Your new supplier provides the electricity at the lower rate. Same power, same utility delivery, lower bill.
