What is the Price to Compare?
Ohio natural gas and power markets are deregulated. This means you can shop for your natural gas and electricity supplier. If you don't choose a supplier, you'll get the "Price to Compare" (PTC) rate. This is the default price your utility charges for supplying electricity or natural gas to customers that don't shop for a competitive supplier. The Price to Compare is based on how much each utility pays for energy it buys from generators and natural gas producers through an auction process. Auction prices must be approved by the Ohio Public Utilities Commission (PUCO) and are then passed directly to customers as Price to Compare rates without mark up.
You can use the Price to Compare with other electricity suppliers to see if you can save money. This is because - unlike utilities - retail suppliers have more options to find deals. They can negotiate contracts or take advantage of shopping wholesale electricity prices throughout the year, on the PJM Day Ahead Market or the Real-Time Market. By using all these methods, most suppliers can offer cheap rates that beat the PTC price.
Switching
It's easy to switch to a new electricity or natural gas supplier in Ohio.
There is NO service interruption and no technician needs to visit
Gather the following information.
- Your name and the service address
- Your email or phone number
- Your most recent utility bill showing your account number.*
*Please Note - the Duquesne Light Company uses a Supplier Agreement ID Number for switching purposes only.
This number is usually located on page 3 of your monthly bill in the Shopping Information Box.
Step 1: Enter Your ZIP Code
Type in your ZIP code to see the licensed electricity or natural gas suppliers available in your utility company's service area.
Step 2: Compare Plans
While price is the most important factor when shopping for a plan for most people, make sure you consider other factors as well. Make sure you choose the best plan for your household!
Look at the details of each plan:
- Price per kWh/ccf - The price you'll pay for each unit of electricity or natural gas.
- Fixed or Variable rate - "Fixed" = same price every month. "Variable" = price can change each month.
- Term Length - How long the contract lasts (e.g. 6 months, 12 months).
- Early Termination Fee - A fee for leaving the plan before plan term ends.
- Renewable Energy - Some plans include features that support clean energy.
Step 3: Choose a Plan
Once you find a plan that fits your needs, you can sign up with the supplier directly through UtilityRates.com.
Step 4: Confirmation and Switch
Once you've signed with your new provider, there are two last things to watch for. First, your new provider will send you a plain language disclosure statement. This contains prices and terms for your new electricity supply agreement. When you receive this, you have three days to cancel the contract.
Next, your local utility will mail you a letter confirming the switch and showing the date when your new service will begin. The service change is usually on the date of the next meter read. So, your new plan will then take effect on your next billing cycle.
That's it! You're done! There are no fees for switching plus, There is NO service interruption and no technician needs to visit. You can also switch to your utility's PTC rate whenever you want.
