Real-time electricity, utility & energy cost stories from local TV news stations Only electricity-deregulated states are shown below.
Columbus residents and businesses served by AEP Ohio / Columbia Gas have the power to
choose their own electricity supplier in Ohio's deregulated energy market.
Ohio electricity rates average around 13–15¢/kWh, with significant savings available by switching from the default utility rate. Shopping for a competitive rate could save you hundreds of dollars each year.
Ohio opened its electricity market to competition, meaning AEP Ohio / Columbia Gas
still delivers your power but you can choose who generates and supplies it.
This separation gives Columbus consumers real choice and competitive pricing that regulated states don't have.
