Energy Harbor

Energy Harbor emerged from FirstEnergy Solutions' bankruptcy in February 2020. They operate the second-largest non-regulated nuclear fleet in the country—four nuclear units across Ohio, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia generating about 33 terawatt-hours of carbon-free electricity. The elephant in the room: House Bill 6. This 2019 Ohio legislation provided nuclear subsidies that kept Energy Harbor's plants running. Federal prosecutors later alleged over $43 million in bribes were connected to the bill. Larry Householder (former Ohio House Speaker) was found guilty in March 2023. Energy Harbor maintains it's a separate company from the bankrupt FirstEnergy Solutions that made those payments. In March 2024, Vistra Corp. acquired Energy Harbor, providing corporate backing. Their BBB reviews are genuinely good (4.46/5 stars, 317 reviews), and they serve nearly 1 million customers. But you can't sign up through us—contact them directly or check if your city has an aggregation program.

Their rates are often the lowest you'll find in Ohio: 4.97¢ to 8.9¢ per kWh. That's significantly cheaper than most competitors. The catch? Those rates are mostly through aggregation programs. Cities negotiate bulk deals, and residents get access to rates that aren't available if you sign up individually. No early termination fees, which is nice. But again, you need to go through them directly or via your city's aggregation program. Not through us.

Call them directly: 1-855-461-1926. Since we can't enroll you, that's really your only option. Check their website or call to see what's available in your area. Ask specifically about aggregation programs in your city or township. If your municipality doesn't have one, you can still contact Energy Harbor about individual rates, though those tend to be higher than the aggregation deals.
