On one hand, you don\u2019t want to get stuck with the constant up and down of prices. On the other, you don\u2019t want to get locked into any long term contracts that could cost you money. So, should you shop for long-term electricity now? Yes, but <em>choose wisely!<\/em> To help you choose, we\u2019re going to look at three plans, and <strong>Toledo Edison<\/strong>, to see what their prices have been doing over the past year.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s2\">Toledo Edison\u2019s Long Term Prices<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p2\">While <strong>Toledo Edison\u2019s<\/strong> Price to Compare (PTC) is pretty high right now at 6.22 cents per kWh, it <a href=\"https:\/\/puco.ohio.gov\/wps\/portal\/gov\/puco\/utilities\/electricity\/resources\/historical-ptc-chart-toledo-edison\"><span class=\"s1\">hasn\u2019t always been that way<\/span><\/a>. Just a few months ago, prices were as low as 4.83 cents per kWh, while prices for the past year on average hovered from about 5.20 to 5.50 cents per kWh. So, does that mean that lower-priced deals won\u2019t be lower priced for long? Historical data can\u2019t really predict future spikes or drops accurately, but it can help you suss out a good deal. With some searching, you can find a plan to cover you no matter the price changes.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s2\">Flexible Long Term Electricity For Your Home<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p4\">Do you want something long-term but with no cancellation fee? You can get amazing flexibility from\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ohenergyratings.com\/plans\/energy-harbor\/details\/safe-harbor-36\"><span class=\"s3\"><b>Energy Harbor\u2019s Safe Harbor 36<\/b><\/span><\/a>. Lock in their low rate at 5.64 cents per kWh (that hasn\u2019t really changed in the last 6 months). \u00a0Since there&#8217;s no cancellation fee, you could switch and save if you see a cheaper plan later on. Just watch out for the two notices you receive at the end of your contract! Your contract automatically renews without action.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p6\"><span class=\"s2\">3 Years Of Electricity For A Decent Price<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p7\">Want to lock in a great low price for the long term? Try the super budget-friendly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ohenergyratings.com\/plans\/constellation\/details\/36-month-home-power-plan\"><span class=\"s4\"><b>36 Month Home Power Plan<\/b><\/span><\/a> from <b>Constellation<\/b>! At just 5.79 cents per kWh, and an early termination fee of just $25, you can keep yourself far ahead of the price curve for years to come. Get off\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ohenergyratings.com\/resources\/ohio-electricity-choice\"><span class=\"s4\">the deregulated energy grind<\/span><\/a> and start enjoying an easy locked-in rate before prices climbs higher.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p6\"><span class=\"s2\">Stable Electricity Prices For Stable Bills<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p7\">Not ready to commit a full 3 years? Totally understandable. Lock in a rate that still beats out the <strong>Toledo Edison<\/strong> PTC at 5.99 cents per kWh, with no early termination fee. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ohenergyratings.com\/plans\/energy-harbor\/details\/safe-harbor-24\"><span class=\"s4\"><b>Energy Harbor\u2019s Safe Harbor 24<\/b><\/span><\/a> offers you stable prices that haven\u2019t changed too much over the past 6 months, and will keep you safe from the monthly in and out of the <strong>Toledo Edison<\/strong> PTC rates.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p8\"><span class=\"s2\">Don\u2019t Let Long Contracts Scare You<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p9\">Long term electricity contracts can be intimidating, or risky, but don&#8217;t worry!
