Electric aggregation in Columbiana County, Ohio

Does Columbiana County, Ohio have electric aggregation?

Electric aggregation. A community buys electricity supply for its residents as one group, and in an opt-out program households are enrolled unless they opt out.

Columbiana County shows up in our registry with five rows, so a program is on record, but we have not verified any, and the table holds names and dates only.

The rows cover one city, three villages and one township. No place here has its own page yet, because a page needs a verified row.

Every listing is either one community's program or a county-wide one. A row counts as verified when its confidence is medium or higher. The others stay in the table by name and date because we cannot yet back a supplier, rate or term for them.

Does Columbiana County run its own electric aggregation program?

Columbiana County has no county-level row in our registry, which leaves each program in the table with the community that adopted it.

A board of county commissioners can aggregate only the unincorporated area of the county, says Ohio Revised Code 4928.20. It may act jointly with another city, village, township or county. The section does not authorize aggregating loads served by a municipal electric utility or in a nonprofit electric supplier's territory.

Which default electric rate sits behind a Columbiana County program?

Price to compare. The utility's default supply rate, the one you pay if you have not chosen a supplier or joined a program.

Ohio Edison is the utility our registry records for the Columbiana County rows.

Ohio Edison's price to compare is 11.07¢ per kWh for October 1 – December 31, 2026, according to PUCO's chart. The next period starts January 1, 2027.

Our Ohio Edison electric rates page and price to compare page cover it, and PUCO's chart shows the offers. County lines do not always match territory lines, so check your bill.

Our ZIP list shows 21 ZIP codes in Columbiana County. Postal names such as Columbiana, East Liverpool, East Rochester, Elkton, Hanoverton and twelve more match no row in this county's file, but a postal name is not a city limit, and a missing row does not mean there is no program.

How does your own supplier fit with a Columbiana County program?

Two things from PUCO (PUCO): if you do not opt out and then choose a new supplier, you remain a customer of the program, and to keep a supplier you chose you must opt out. Ask the program and the supplier how your account will be handled before you sign or return anything in Columbiana County. Also look for an early termination fee (ETF), the charge for ending a contract early.

Staying in the program, or on the utility's default, can be the better choice when every fixed offer on PUCO's chart is above the rate you pay now for the same dates. It can also be better when a supplier's monthly fee or ETF would erase the gap.

If you want to stay out of opt-out programs to come, PUCO runs an electric Do Not Aggregate list. PUCO says registering does not remove you from a program that already enrolled you.
