AEP Ohio announces rate increase with a twist.

AEP Ohio is planning to raise electricity rates for many customers beginning in June due to factors such as global demand, global supply chain issues, and the war in Ukraine. The increased generation supply cost tacked on bills would not come back to the company as any form of profit. AEP customers can choose who generates their electricity rather than accept the SSO price and can review offers from electric generation suppliers on Energy Choice Ohio. The new rates will be in effect until May 2024.

FirstEnergy customers brace for nearly doubled bills.

FirstEnergy customers in Ohio will see their electricity bills nearly double in June due to the company having to buy expensive electricity on the open market. However, customers have the option to shop around for their electricity and find a new company from which to buy their electricity. The Public Utilities Commission of Ohio (PUCO) has a website called Energy Choice Ohio where customers can find a new supplier. PUCO also provides a list of questions to ask when calling a new supplier to understand the contract. FirstEnergy's Ohio utilities do not profit from the generation portion of a customer's bill.
