Ohio’s Electricity at a Glance
Most of Ohio’s electricity comes from nuclear, coal, or natural gas sources while renewable resources like hydropower, wind, solar, geothermal, or biomass energy provide a fraction. Even so, Ohio offers many different electricity options such as fixed-term, variable-term, and fully renewable plans.
PUCO oversees how electricity rates are set in the state—with the average residential rate being 12.63 ¢/kWh. In cities and towns, you can either choose a competitive rate from a retail supplier or pay the “Standard Service Offer” from the utility company that distributes your electricity.
In rural areas, non-profit electric cooperatives provide electricity to their members, taking on many, if not all of the related costs. These cooperatives are not regulated by PUCO.
