Time may be running out to lock in a low rate but, with a little help, shopping for electricity can be as easy as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ohenergyratings.com\/ohio-apples-to-apples-electricity-rate-comparison\"><span class=\"s1\">making apple pie<\/span><\/a>! Let&#8217;s look at the positives, negatives and neutrals of the following two year plans available in Columbus, Ohio.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s2\">A Long Term Electric Rate With No Surprises<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The AEP Price To Compare is currently sitting at 5.05 cents per kWh, and it expires at the end of the year. As we heading into the holiday season, not knowing how much that new rate is frustrating, especially as rates are expected to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eia.gov\/outlooks\/steo\/report\/electricity.php\">rise by\u00a00.7%<\/a> over last year.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">If you looking for something simple, with no surprises then check out the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ohenergyratings.com\/plans\/xoom-energy\/details\/surelock-24\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Xoom Energy SureLock 24<\/b><\/span><\/a> plan. This rate is currently sitting at 5.99 cents per kWh. This plan does host a hefty early termination fee of $200. However,\u00a0<b>Xoom Energy <\/b>does have a benefits program that allows you to get gift cards, discounts, and other rewards for online shopping, groceries, and other prizes through your bill payments! At the end of your service term, if you don\u2019t renew your contract, or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ohenergyratings.com\/resources\/ohio-electricity-switching-rules\"><span class=\"s1\">switch to a new provider<\/span><\/a>, you will be rolled over to a variable rate month to month plan, which could end up costing you! Remember to come back and shop around again with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ohenergyratings.com\"><span class=\"s1\">Ohio Energy Ratings<\/span><\/a>!<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s2\">A Long Term Electric Rate With No Termination Fee<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p2\">Looking for something a little more flexible? While this rate is the more expensive of the three we\u2019re comparing here, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ohenergyratings.com\/plans\/public-power\/details\/24-month-fixed\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Public Power\u2019s 24 Month Fixed<\/b><\/span><\/a> plan is sitting comfortably at 6.09 cents per kWh. The benefit of no termination fee is that even if your plans change and you don\u2019t end up using your entire contract, you\u2019re not going to owe a hefty fee! <b>Public Power<\/b> also offers phone alerts to help you save money, inform you of outages, and set up bill reminders! Public Power isn&#8217;t very forthcoming on details about the end of your contract though. They offer two options: a new fixed rate plan, or a variable month to month plan. These details will be in your renewal notices and your contract before you sign up.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s2\">A Low Long Term Electric Rate<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p4\">Are you really trying to pinch those pennies? The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ohenergyratings.com\/plans\/constellation\/details\/24-month-home-power-plan\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Constellation 24 Month Home Power Plan<\/b><\/span><\/a> is strikingly low priced! At only 5.19 cents per kWh, this plan can help you save money on your electricity bills. If you find yourself needing to cancel, there is a small fee, but it\u2019s only $25. A benefit is that<b> Constellation<\/b> invests in Renewable Energy Credits (RECs) to help support <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ohenergyratings.com\/resources\/ohio-green-energy-requirements\"><span class=\"s1\">green energy<\/span><\/a>. Make sure you pay attention to the renewal date for your rate though! At the end of your term, Constellation will automatically roll your plan over into a new contract, without you needing to approve it.<\/p>\n<h3>Lock In Your Perfect Two Year Electric Rate<\/h3>\n<p class=\"p4\">The timer is counting down to when these rates will change and disappear!
