A simple guide to how it works and what it means for you
Ever wonder how your city helps you get electricity? Here’s a simple breakdown of how aggregation works and why cities use it.
What Is Aggregation?
Aggregation is when your city buys electricity in bulk for residents and small businesses. By working together, communities can get more competitive pricing and expanded energy options. Aggregation programs are designed to offer competitive pricing, but savings are not guaranteed. Watch your mail for important information from your city, as it will explain your options and any program details.
How It Works
The Bottom Line
When deciding what’s right for you, you have options. You can stay with your utility’s standard service, participate in aggregation, or choose another supplier. It really comes down to what works best for your needs.

To check how your specific community is handling its energy supply, you can compare current rates at the Office of the Ohio Consumers’ Counsel or the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio where it publishes the Apples to Apples cost comparisons for energy services where you have a choice of provider.
