Ranked on the effective supply price at 500 kWh a month: the listed rate plus the monthly fee spread over that usage, our arithmetic on two figures the chart states.

A home served by Butler Rural Electric Coop Inc - (OH) (electric cooperative) cannot choose a supplier: those utilities are outside the PUCO's choice programme.

Related questions

Which utility delivers electricity in Cincinnati?
Cincinnati is in Hamilton County, where EIA-861 records Duke Energy Ohio as the utility whose customers may choose a supplier, beside Butler Rural Electric Coop Inc - (OH) (electric cooperative) where there is no supplier choice. Which one serves a particular address is the utility's own lookup to answer; the ZIP check on this page shows every utility EIA records in a ZIP's counties.
What is the Price to Compare?
The utility's own generation rate, stated above each Apples to Apples table for a dated period. A supplier offer below it saves on supply; one above it costs more. Delivery charges are the same whichever supplier you choose and are not in either figure.
What is governmental aggregation, and does it apply to me?
Ohio law lets a city, township or county buy electricity supply for its residents as a group; the PUCO explains that an opt-out aggregation enrols every resident unless they individually opt out, and an opt-in one enrols only those who sign up. Whether your community runs one is on your bill (it names your supplier) and on your community's own site; we have not read a list of aggregating communities, so this page does not say which ones do.

Where this comes from

Dated 2026-11-14. Nothing is estimated beyond arithmetic the page names, and no provider pays to appear.

OpenStream holds no Ohio certification from the PUCO and earns nothing from any supplier. Every link to a supplier is a plain hand-off. How we are paid.
