What is governmental aggregation in Ohio?

Governmental aggregation is an Ohio arrangement in which a city, township or county buys electricity or natural gas supply for its residents as one group: the PUCO's Energy Choice Ohio explains that an "opt-out" aggregation automatically enrols every local resident unless they individually opt out, an "opt-in" one enrols only those who sign up, and every aggregator must be certified by the PUCO.

The PUCO's page adds that an opt-out programme needs a majority of voters at an election, a plan of operation, two public hearings and a notice to every resident stating the rates and terms; that residents who do not opt out and later choose a supplier remain in the aggregation; that the opt-out is available every three years for electricity without a switching fee; and that a household on the Percentage of Income Payment Plan (PIPP Plus) or already under an individual supplier contract is not eligible. Whether your own community aggregates is on your bill, which names your supplier, and on your community's site; this site has not read a list of aggregating communities and does not name any.

Related questions

Do I need to do anything if my city aggregates?
In an opt-out aggregation, nothing: residents are enrolled unless they opt out, and the notice they are sent states the rate and terms. Compare that rate with the offers on this site and with the utility's Price to Compare before deciding to stay or opt out.
Can I compare the aggregation rate with the offers here?
Yes: the aggregation notice states a supply rate in dollars per kWh, the same unit the PUCO's chart lists supplier offers in, and the same unit as the utility's Price to Compare.

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.
