What is Ohio Edison's price to compare?
It is 11.07¢ per kWh, and it is the price for the power itself. The Public Utilities Commission of Ohio posts it on the Energy Choice Ohio chart. Ohio Edison serves homes in places such as Akron, Youngstown and Mansfield. If you have not chosen a supplier or joined a town program, this is the price on your bill.
It is set for blocks of time. The current price started October 1, 2026 and runs through December 31, 2026. Ohio Edison's two sister utilities, CEI and Toledo Edison, have prices of 11.24¢ and 11.26¢.

- 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.

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.
| Part of the bill | Who sets it | Can you shop it |
|---|---|---|
| Power itself, per kWh | Your supplier, a town program or Ohio Edison's price to compare | Yes |
| Delivery: wires, poles, meter, outages | Ohio Edison, with PUCO approval | No |
| Fixed monthly customer charge | Ohio Edison | No |
| Taxes and fees | State and local | No |
Our high bill guide walks through seven reasons a bill jumps and how to spot each one.
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.
| Utility | Each year | Total 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.
