PUCO Encourages Consumers to Explore Energy Choice Options
COLUMBUS, OHIO (May 4, 2023) – The Public Utilities Commission of Ohio (PUCO) is encouraging customers of Ohio’s regulated electric utilities to compare competitive offers from retail suppliers ahead of expected price increases to their utility’s default rate.
Default electricity prices, identified as the “price-to-compare” on residential customers’ bills, are scheduled to increase June 1 because of upward pressure on wholesale electricity markets. Customers enrolled in their local government aggregation, or directly with a retail electric supplier will not be impacted by these changes.
“Ohio’s retail energy marketplace is available for consumers to shop around for their electricity supplier,” stated PUCO Chair Jenifer French. “Consumers exploring offers from competitive suppliers should ask the right questions to know if they stand to save money on their electricity bills.”
Customers who are interested in choosing an energy choice supplier can compare supplier rate offers by visiting the PUCO’s Energy Choice Ohio website at: www.energychoice.ohio.gov
