Electricity supply
This is the generation or supply portion that competitive electricity suppliers price in the Ohio Energy Choice marketplace.
AES Ohio delivery

Supplier fees
Monthly charges, early termination fees, introductory prices and other plan-specific terms can affect the total cost.
Before you switch
Five things to check before choosing a plan
Compare the supplier's generation rate against the AES Ohio Price to Compare shown on your bill.
Check whether the plan lasts 3, 6, 9, 12, 18, 24 months or another period.
Check cancellation charges before enrolling, especially if you may move during the contract.
A lower cents-per-kWh price can be offset by a recurring monthly charge.
If renewable energy matters to you, compare the renewable content percentage of each offer.
