I compared the electricity suppliers at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ohenergyratings.com\/electricity-rates\">https:\/\/www.ohenergyratings.com\/electricity-rates<\/a> for a good 6-month option and a few possibilities popped up. The one that I liked best was <strong>Constellation\u2019s 6 Month Home Power Plan. <\/strong>Its pricing was the fairest and the company overall seemed to be a smarter choice.<\/p>\n<h3>Better Deal Than Variable<\/h3>\n<p>Sometimes a year or two is just too big of a commitment. Having your plan last only half a year frees up that commitment. A 6 month fixed rate is a smarter choice because variable rate plans fluctuate unreliably. We\u2019ve been having a rather cold winter, which means that Ohio\u2019s electric rates forecast will be climbing. Besides, I hate seeing surprises when it comes to my monthly electricity bill. The plan you choose should be as flexible as you are, and worry free. Choosing a fixed rate locks in those rates and lets me focus on more important things.<\/p>\n<h3>Best Rate Compared to the Rest<\/h3>\n<p>There were two options available to me in choosing the ideal 6 month plan. The first cost 6.4 cents per kilowatt hour from another supplier. The second was 5.4 cents per kilowatt hour from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ohenergyratings.com\/plans\/constellation\/details\/6-month-home-power-plan\">Constellation\u2019s 6 Month Home Power Plan<\/a>. If you are unsure of the need for a full 6 months, keep in mind that <strong>Constellation<\/strong>\u2019s plan has a cancellation fee of $25. Even with that caveat you still end up saving on your electricity bill!<\/p>\n<p>Since the plans are both fixed rates, the calculations to compare your Ohio Edison Electricity rates are pretty simple. The average consumption of electricity in the Toledo area over a 6 month period is 5,370 kilowatt hours (kwh). When you multiply the average kwh by the rate from the competing supplier\u2019s plan:<\/p>\n<p>5370 kwh x $0.064 per kwh= $343.68 (total cost)<\/p>\n<p>$343.68 \/ 6 months = $57.28 (monthly average)<\/p>\n<p>When the same is done for <strong>Constellation\u2019s 6 Month Home Power Plan<\/strong>,<\/p>\n<p>5370 kwh x $0.054 per kwh= $289.98<\/p>\n<p>$289.98 \/ 6 = $48.33<\/p>\n<p>You can see that you actually save $53.70 by choosing <strong>Constellation\u2019s<\/strong> plan. To see what that means for you, compare Ohio Edison\u2019s price with your current bills.<\/p>\n<h3>The Smartest Choice<\/h3>\n<p>Renewable energy is very important to me. Sustainability and our impact on Earth go hand-in-hand and that\u2019s especially true when it comes to comparing Ohio Edison electricity rates. So I checked out <strong>Constellation\u2019s<\/strong> website and came across their environmental impact page, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.constellation.com\/about-us\/environmental-impact.html\">https:\/\/www.constellation.com\/about-us\/environmental-impact.html<\/a> . Their offices and data centers power usage is matched by an equal output of green, renewable energy. On top of that, <strong>Constellation<\/strong> actually helped build a large-scale solar array right here in downtown Toledo!<\/p>\n<p>When I compare the plans available to me, I can\u2019t justify choosing anything besides the <strong>6 Month Power Plan<\/strong> from <strong>Constellation<\/strong>. Its Ohio electricity rates are too smart of a choice to pass up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Best Apples to Apples Deal in Ohio Edison!
