Dayton electric aggregation in Montgomery County, Ohio

What does our registry say about electric aggregation in Dayton, Ohio?

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.

A city program starts with an ordinance from the legislative authority of the municipal corporation. Voters then approve automatic enrollment at an election (Ohio Revised Code 4928.20). Sustainable Ohio Public Energy Council (SOPEC) runs this program for Dayton, and our registry lists it under Dayton's own program name.

High confidence means we read the program, its supplier and its exit-fee note from the program's own publisher. Where the table says "We have not verified this yet", we found no source for that field.

The recorded term runs from June 1, 2026 through May 31, 2027.

Where does the Dayton rate stand against the utility's price to compare?

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

Dayton's program rate, as the registry has it, is 10.691¢ per kWh, a fixed rate. AES Ohio's price to compare is 10.86¢ per kWh for June 1, 2026 – May 31, 2027, according to PUCO's chart. The next period starts June 1, 2027.

Each figure prices supply only, and each covers its own dates, so line the dates up first.

Check the utility on your bill, then use the AES Ohio price to compare page and PUCO's chart to see its default. The registry's utility for Dayton may be a county-level match.

What does it take to opt out of the Dayton program?

The law sets a floor: an opt-out procedure that lets you leave every three years without a switching fee (Ohio Revised Code 4928.20). Your notice from Dayton's program sets the actual terms.

For Dayton, the registry's exit-fee note says “No termination fee; customers may leave the aggregation program at no cost (City of Dayton)”. That is a snapshot from September 9, 2026, and your notice is the source of record.

The registry also records this opt-out note: “AEP Energy call centre 877-648-1937, or the City of Dayton at 937-333-3333”.

Does signing with a supplier change your Dayton enrollment?

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 Dayton. 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 sits above the rate you pay now for the same dates. A supplier's monthly fee or an ETF can erase the gap too.
