Supplier Check: Constellation in Ohio
We do not score Ohio suppliers. Ohio publishes no complaint counts for each company, so a score would rest on a guess. We run five checks instead and show the source and the day we read it. How we check explains each rule.

The 18-month plans cost more per kWh in every area. A longer plan holds the price longer, but it costs more today. Our Ohio compare page prices a plan over its whole term.

A billing complaint often comes from a plan that ended. Check the end date now. The contract-ending guide shows what notice you are owed.
Who is the Constellation Energy company?
The state's chart lists the seller as Constellation NewEnergy, Inc., of Houston, Texas. Its Ohio contract says it is an independent seller of power, certified by PUCO, and not your utility. BBB has accredited it since May 14, 2013.
Constellation is a seller, whatever the plan is called. The name of your utility is printed on your bill. Ohio's rules bar a seller from posing as that utility.
What happens when a Constellation plan ends?
The contract we read, for the AEP Ohio area, sends a notice 45 to 90 days before the end. A second notice follows at least 35 days before. Each tells you the new product, price and length. If you do not say no, Constellation can renew you for a new term. You can leave with no fee in the first 90 days. After that, a $25 fee applies.
- Sign upWrite down the end date, price, term and the $25 fee. Keep the contract.
- Day 90The free-exit window ends. After this a $25 fee applies.
- 45 to 90 days before the endWatch for the first notice. It must show the new price.

No. Your utility delivers the power and sends the bill. Constellation only sells the power. Check your bill for your utility's name.

The contract we read says Constellation sends two notices before the end, with the new price. If you do nothing, it can renew you. Compare that new price with your utility's default before the date passes.
