Use the Ohio Edison comparison chart
On the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio’s Apples to Apples electric comparison page, choose residential service and Ohio Edison. Compare the listed offer with your current supplier rate and the Price to Compare shown for your account.
Confirm the service ZIP and customer class with the supplier before enrolling. A price shown for Cleveland’s Illuminating Company territory or Toledo Edison does not establish what is available to an Akron household. Delivery charges stay on the bill even when you change the company supplying electricity.
Check the supplier you already have
Read the supply section of a recent bill and locate the supplier name. If you received an aggregation notice, keep it with your contract documents. Review its service dates, opt-out instructions, and renewal terms before deciding whether to remain in that program or compare an individual supplier offer.
Do not assume that an Akron mailing address alone determines participation in a local program. Use the eligibility and account details in your notice. A new supply contract should be compared with the arrangement you actually have, including any fee for leaving an existing individual contract.
Check eligibility and the full contract
PUCO notes that customers enrolled in PIPP Plus cannot switch to an alternate supplier. If you receive assistance, confirm the rules for your account before trying to enroll. The official comparison chart is a starting point; the supplier’s disclosure contains the terms you would accept.
Record the price per kWh, whether it can change, the term, recurring charges, and any early termination fee. Estimate supply cost using your own monthly kWh, then add supplier fees. Keep delivery charges separate and set a reminder before renewal. A short introductory rate does not establish savings after that term ends.
Akron electric rate FAQ
Which comparison chart should Akron residents use?
Customers whose bill lists Ohio Edison should select Ohio Edison on the PUCO residential electric chart. Confirm your utility on the bill rather than relying only on the city name.
Does a supplier change replace Ohio Edison?
No. For an Ohio Edison delivery account, supplier choice changes electricity supply. Utility delivery and outage responsibilities remain with the delivery utility.
Can every residential account switch suppliers?
No. Eligibility depends on the account and program. PUCO specifically excludes PIPP Plus customers from alternate supplier enrollment; check your account before accepting an offer.
