Retail Choice & Aggregation
What is Electric Aggregation?
In Ohio, customers of investor-owned utilities can select their electric generation suppliers, known as Competitive Retail Electric Service (CRES) companies. This program is called Energy Choice Ohio or "Apples to Apples". Essentially, it allows individual customers to come together as a group to negotiate lower rates.
State law exempts Ohio's electric cooperatives from participation in retail electric choice. Why? Because we are already doing it! Cooperatives are member-owned businesses who work together. We join forces with 24 other Ohio cooperatives to purchase power for our members. Together, Ohio's Electric Cooperatives own Buckeye Power, a generation and transmission cooperative that provides affordable power to its membership.
Cooperative members in Ohio are not eligible to be part of the Apples to Apples program.
Will this Affect Me?
The short answer is no. As a member of The Energy Cooperative, electric aggregation does not affect you. Ohio's electric cooperatives already have some of the most stable and affordable generation rates around. We are always focused on keeping costs low.
