Ohio operates one of the country’s most active deregulated electricity markets. By choosing their own electricity supplier, businesses in Columbus, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Dayton, Toledo and other deregulated zones can secure competitive pricing and contract structures that align with their budgets and risk tolerances. Rate Electric works with Ohio businesses to navigate supplier offers, lock in attractive commercial electricity rates and structure contracts for long‑term cost control.
How Ohio’s Deregulated Electricity Market Works
Under Ohio’s choice program, utilities such as AEP Ohio, FirstEnergy, Duke Energy and Dayton Power & Light continue to deliver electricity, maintain poles and wires, and handle outages. Your business still receives one consolidated bill from the utility. The key difference is that the supply portion of your bill can come from a competitive retail electricity supplier instead of default service. This market structure lets you shop for better pricing and plan types.
