The 4 things to know

  • Ohio Edison always delivers. It owns the wires, fixes outages and sends the bill, whoever sells your power.
  • The price to compare covers the power only. Delivery is a separate charge set by the state.
  • Most homes already shop. Federal data shows about 72% of Ohio Edison home accounts buy power elsewhere.
  • Delivery may rise. A rate case for 2027 to 2029 is pending and no ruling has been made.

Built on public data from the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio (PUCO) and its Energy Choice Ohio charts, the Office of the Ohio Consumers' Counsel, and the U.S. Energy Information Administration.

02 · Test an offer

Does an offer really beat Ohio Edison's price?

Enter a seller's price, any monthly fee and how much power you use. Small fees matter: at 900 kWh, $10 a month is roughly 1.1¢ on every kWh. The tool runs both numbers against Ohio Edison's price and shows who wins, before you spend a minute on the phone.

  1. 1
    Choose Ohio Edison.

    Your bill names it in the header.

  2. 2
    Type the offer's price.

    Use cents per kWh, such as 10.5.

  3. 3
    Add any monthly fee.

    Type 0 if there is none.

  4. 4
    Enter your usage.

    Look under "kWh used" on the bill.

Its name is at the top of your bill.
Example: 9.99. Seen as $0.0999? Type 9.99.
Type 0 if the offer has no monthly fee.
It is on your bill. Not sure? Leave 1,000.

Pick your utility and type the offer's price. The answer shows here.

How we got this: all-in price = offer price + monthly fee ÷ your kWh. Each year = (price to compare − all-in price) × your kWh × 12. We assume the offer price and your use stay the same. Prices as of October 24, 2026, from Energy Choice Ohio.

03 · Offers

How many offers beat it?

On the chart, 104 of 145 offers sit under the price to compare, a share of 72%. That falls to 96 once monthly fees are added in. 39 different sellers are on the chart.

The lowest fixed offer with no fees is 10.09¢, sold by Powervine Energy LLC. A low price alone proves little. Look the seller up in our supplier guide first. Two other options we cover are the town group program NOPEC and the seller Energy Harbor, whose fixed plans were under Ohio Edison's price on October 24, 2026.

  • Compare every offer with the price to compare for its whole term, after fees.
  • Pick a fixed price if you want to know what you will pay.
  • Note when the plan ends and ask what you will pay next.
  • Variable prices can move up in any month.
  • A cancel fee can eat the saving if you leave early.
04 · Your bill

What is on an Ohio Edison bill?

You can shop the power. You cannot shop the wires. By our math from the federal 2025 annual report, Ohio Edison accounts that bought from a seller paid about 7.42¢ per kWh for delivery alone. A typical home used roughly 840 kWh a month.

05 · The rate case

What is FirstEnergy's rate case?

It is a request to raise the delivery part of your bill, and it is not approved. FirstEnergy asked PUCO on April 22, 2026 to approve a three-year increase in distribution service. That is the cost of poles, wires, tree trimming and keeping the system running. The Office of the Ohio Consumers' Counsel, the state's residential advocate, says the request would add these amounts for a home using 1,000 kWh a month.

What the Ohio Consumers' Counsel says the case would add at 1,000 kWh a month
UtilityEach yearTotal by year three
Ohio Edison$4.26 more a month$12.78 a month
The Illuminating Company (CEI)$5.15 more a month$15.45 a month
Toledo Edison$5.30 more a month$15.90 a month

FirstEnergy says it plans to spend about $800 million a year on its distribution system, plus $83 million a year on tree trimming. These amounts are a request. PUCO may approve less. The Counsel represents nearly 2 million FirstEnergy homes in the case. You can send a comment online or by mail, and speak at a hearing when dates are set.
