    1. Enter your zip code.

      Enter your zip code at ElectricityPlans.com.

    2. Compare the rate per kWh.

      The price per kWh (kilowatt hour) is the price you’ll pay for every unit of electricity you use.

    3. Read the details so you know what you’re getting.

      Review the plan information such as the contract term and termination fee. Suppliers can’t charge an early termination fee for residential electricity in Ohio.

    You’ll use more or less than that average based on the size and age of your home, number of occupants and your energy conservation habits.

    To cut your electricity bill, work toward energy conservation and compare electricity rates from suppliers.
