Utilities Commission alerts Ohio Edison customers of upcoming rate change

The Public Utilities Commission of Ohio (PUCO) is alerting customers of Ohio Edison of upcoming rate changes that are expected to take effect on June 1, 2025.

According to a news release, a new standard service offer rate will take effect for nearly all Ohio Edison customers who are not participating in a government aggregation program or enrolled with a competitive supplier.

The new service rate will rise by nearly two cents per kilowatt hour to $0.0935 per kWh.

"It is important for consumers to be aware of pricing changes impacting their electricity bills this summer," states PUCO Chair Jenifer French.

French continued," The PUCO is available to assist Ohioans to understand their electric bill, and what options they have to manage their bills year round."

Most Ohio Edison customers can choose their energy supplier - and resources are available for any consumers looking to compare energy services.

According to the release, residential customers can use the "price-to-compare", or PTC, printed on the monthly utility bill to know if switching suppliers will help them save money or not.

The PUCO offers the Energy Choice Ohio website that provides consumers with a one-stop resource for comparing electricity services.

According to the release, the Energy Choice Ohio website has steps for those looking to switch as well as recommended questions to ask suppliers before enrolling in new service.
