EIA<\/a> data from January 2025).<\/p>\n\n\n\nYou’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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
To cut your electricity bill, work toward energy conservation and compare electricity rates from suppliers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Understanding Electricity Choice <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Today, households and businesses in Akron, Ohio, don\u2019t have to settle for the utility company\u2019s rates. Monopoly markets can drive prices up, stunt innovation and prevent residents from exploring green alternatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
States started recognizing this pattern in the 1990s. Ohio proposed a restructuring of its energy market in 1999, with deregulation going into effect in 2001 to support competition, lower rates and improve infrastructure. Consumers took note, and by 2014, nearly 60% of Ohio residents and businesses got their power through an alternative supplier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yet, researching all your options comes with one significant hurdle: Using the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio\u2019s (PUCO) Apples to Apples website. Minimal oversight means anyone, regardless of reputation, can submit their plans, and customers only receive a snapshot of their benefits. It\u2019s easy to get swindled, and that\u2019s why we developed ElectricityPlans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ready to accurately comparison shop for electricity in Akron, Ohio? Get started with our guide<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTypes of Electricity Plans Available<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
So you\u2019ve decided to browse the state\u2019s marketplace. Your choices, outside of providers, fall into one of the following groups:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- Fixed-Rate Plans:<\/strong> Like security and predictability? We do and know that many electricity customers do, too. Fixed-rate plans give you peace of mind month to month with a rate that remains the same for the full length of your contract.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Variable-Rate Plans:<\/strong> Your electric rate fluctuates with market trends and supplier decisions. That means you save some months and might pay a little more for others. If you select this type of plan, many providers will waive their early termination fee if and when you decide to cancel.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Renewable Energy Plans: <\/strong>Choice goes beyond rate to where your energy comes from. And when greener is a goal, you can shop plans that source part or 100% of their energy from wind, solar and other renewable sources.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":6488,"parent":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_hide_date_in_meta":false,"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":""},"coauthors":[59,60],"class_list":{"0":"post-1894","1":"ep_city","2":"type-ep_city","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"entry"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nCompare
