Understanding the PUCO and Ohio's Energy Choice. How APG&E can help you protect your budget with long term fixed rate protection.
The Public Utilities Commission of Ohio (PUCO) protects your rights and oversees the rules that electric suppliers and utilities must follow. Even though you have the power to choose your electricity supplier, PUCO ensures that the entire system stays fair, safe, and transparent.
In Ohio’s deregulated market, PUCO doesn't set electricity prices — but it does make sure you have access to clear information and dependable service. That’s where both PUCO and APG&E come in.
The PUCO makes sure that Ohio’s competitive electricity market runs smoothly. Here’s what they handle:
Certifying electric suppliers like APG&E to ensure they meet strict operating and ethical standards.
Resolving customer complaints and disputes with suppliers or utilities.
Monitoring utility reliability and infrastructure investments.
Approving default electricity supply rates for customers who don’t choose a competitive supplier.
Running the Energy Choice “Apples to Apples” comparison tool.
The PUCO is here to protect your choice. And at APG&E, we’re here to help make that choice simple and rewarding.
Ohio’s Energy Choice program means you can shop for electricity the same way you shop for a cell phone plan or internet service. You’re not locked into your utility’s default rate — you can choose a supplier like APG&E to get fixed, competitive pricing and other perks.
The PUCO created the “Apples to Apples” site (EnergyChoice.Ohio.gov) so you can compare available offers. But the site doesn’t filter plans or help you find the best match — it just lists options.
That’s where APG&E stands out. We’re not just another supplier — we offer:
Simple, transparent plans
Fixed-rate protection from market spikes
Customer-first service and clear terms
No gimmicks or confusing fine print
If you don’t choose a supplier, your utility assigns you the Standard Service Offer (SSO) — a fluctuating rate that can change multiple times per year based on market auctions.
But with APG&E, you can:
✅ Lock in a rate for 6, 12, or 24 months
✅ Avoid bill shocks due to sudden utility rate increases
✅ Gain peace of mind with simple, no-hassle contracts
✅ Access live customer care when you have questions
The “Price to Compare” is the utility’s current rate — your benchmark when shopping. If APG&E’s rate is lower or more stable, you could save money and avoid future volatility.
We serve customers in these Ohio utility areas:
Duke Energy Ohio
AEP Ohio (Columbus Southern & Ohio Power)
FirstEnergy – Ohio Edison, Toledo Edison, and The Illuminating Company
AES Ohio (formerly Dayton Power & Light)
