Electric aggregation in Summit County, Ohio

Does Summit 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.

The table shows eight rows for Summit County. Four are verified and named, and four are listed by name and date only.

The rows cover five cities, two villages and the county's own row. Pages exist for the verified places: Akron, Norton and Stow.

Every listing is either one community's program or a county-wide one. Verified here means medium confidence or higher. Below that, we cannot yet back a supplier, rate or term, so the table says so and prints none.

Does Summit County run its own electric aggregation program?

Summit County has a program of its own: Summit County Municipal Aggregation. Our registry, researched September 9, 2026 at medium confidence, lists Dynegy Energy Services as the supplier at a fixed rate of 9.94¢ per kWh.

The recorded term runs from June 1, 2026 through June 30, 2028. That span is long, and a rate can be fixed for only part of a term, so confirm which dates your rate covers.

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

What default electric rate should you check in Summit County?

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 Summit 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 covers the territory, the price to compare page explains the default, and PUCO's chart lists offers. A territory can end partway through a county, so the utility on your bill decides.

Our ZIP list shows 48 ZIP codes in Summit County. Postal names such as Barberton, Bath, Clinton, Cuyahoga Falls, Green and nine 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 Summit 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 Summit 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.

PUCO's electric Do Not Aggregate list is for people who want to stay out of opt-out programs that have not started yet. PUCO says it does not remove you from one that already enrolled you.
