Ohio calls a retail supplier a CRES provider, short for Competitive Retail Electric Service provider. It sells you the electricity, but AEP Ohio still carries it to your home. Read the AEP Ohio rates page.

The price to compare is AEP Ohio's default supply rate, the one you pay without a supplier. PUCO's chart lists 10.19¢ per kWh, and we read it October 5, 2026. The period runs October 1 – December 31, 2026, so the next one starts January 1, 2027.

The rate is up 4% from 9.80¢ per kWh (October 1 – December 31, 2025), the same period a year earlier.

Behind the default is the Standard Service Offer (SSO), the supply service AEP Ohio has to offer. It prices supply only. Residential bills must print the price to compare (OAC 4901:1-10-22). The AEP Ohio price to compare page points to it.

Does Canton have an electric aggregation program?

Ohio lets a city, township or county pool its residents' electricity into one aggregation purchase. Automatic enrollment needs a yes vote from local voters first, and then each household gets a notice and the right to opt out (Ohio Revised Code 4928.20).

Canton's program is City of Canton Municipal Aggregation. Our registry, researched September 9, 2026 at medium confidence, lists Dynegy Energy Services as the supplier at a fixed rate of 9.99¢ per kWh.

The registry records the program's contract term as March 2026 to June 2027. A program can reset its rate inside that term, so your latest notice shows how long the rate above lasts.

Our registry records no county-wide program for Stark County.

Default rate, city program or supplier: which applies to you in Canton?

In Canton your electric supply comes from one of three places.

PUCO says people on PIPP Plus or under their own supplier contract are not eligible for aggregation (what is aggregation).

Staying put makes sense if every fixed offer sits above the price to compare, or if a monthly fee or an early termination fee (ETF), the charge for leaving a contract early, would erase the gap. See when staying put is the better choice.
