Public Power

Public Power was founded in 2008 and is now owned by Vistra Corp., a Fortune 500 integrated power company that actually owns and operates power plants. They serve over 200,000 residential and commercial customers across 8 states. Their BBB profile is remarkably clean: A+ rating with zero complaints in the past 3 years. That's rare in this industry. They're accredited since 2022 and have been in business for 17 years. Their pitch is simplicity: fixed-rate plans, predictable bills, no variable rate surprises. OH Energy Ratings gives them 3.41/5 overall and 3.8/5 from customer reviews. You can't sign up through us—contact them directly if you're interested.

Rates typically run 9.5¢ to 10.5¢ per kWh. That's competitive but not the absolute cheapest. Pick your term: 6, 12, or 24 months. All fixed rate. There's a $50-100 early termination fee if you leave before your contract ends, which is lower than what some companies charge. No monthly fees, no complicated pricing tiers. Just the rate and your usage.
