Electric Apples to Apples Chart
Current Supplier Rate Offers
The chart below reflects the current supplier rate offers provided by the suppliers to residential customers in the AEP, Dayton Power and Light, Duke Energy and First Energy service areas.
Please refer to your most recent bill for your current price to compare.
Price to Compare
In order for you to save money, the new supplier’s rate needs to be lower than the Price to Compare rate shown on your bill. The Price to Compare is calculated based on the total amount you would no longer pay your utility company for the generation portion of your electric supply if you choose another supplier, divided by the kilowatt hours used.
The calculation determining the Price to Compare varies by utility company. As always, you will still be responsible for the utility company distribution charges and any related riders on your utility bill. Please consult the utility’s web site for specific information. As with any contract, read and understand all terms and conditions before signing up with a supplier.
