Electric Aggregation |
|
On November 8, voters in Plain Township adopted an opt-out electric aggregation program, where community officials bring citizens together to buy electricity as a group and negotiate the terms, conditions and price of the electric supply on the group’s behalf.
This type of group buying power is an effective way to obtain a lower electricity rate for all the group members.

|
Ohio law allows for communities - such as townships, cities and counties - to form aggregated buying groups to purchase electric generation on behalf of their citizens.
All eligible residents and small business customers in the community are automatically enrolled unless they choose to opt-out.
Residents do not need to do anything to join the program.
However, anyone who does not want to participate in the program can easily opt out by returning a form mailed to all eligible members.
|
|
By voting FOR electric aggregation, community members:
|
|
 |
|
allow locally elected officials to act as a buying agent and purchase electric generation at a discounted rate for the community |
|
|
have the choice to either participate in the electric discount program or opt out of the program |
|
|
Ohio Power will continue to be responsible for the delivery of power to homes and businesses, and will continue to read your meter, maintain poles and wires and restore power after an outage.
