\"Tracking
AEP Ohio electricity rates and prices change every few month. That\u2019s why tracking the trend can save you money on your family\u2019s electricity usage.<\/em><\/center><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

How does a fixed-rate electric plan save you money with AEP Ohio<\/a>?<\/h2>\n

It\u2019s understandable to feel like you don\u2019t want to be tied down by a long-term contract with an electric supplier. But when you consider the high price you\u2019re paying, you may reconsider your affinity for freedom.<\/p>\n

Fixed-rate electric plans save you money by locking in a cheap rate which lowers your electric bill<\/a> and provides consistent pricing for an entire year. Variable rates may seem appealing with a low introductory rate but after the first month ends, your rates fluctuate and tend to be more expensive over time.<\/p>\n

How electric rates have changed in six months for AEP Ohio<\/a> costumers in Columbus.<\/h3>\n

Last January, we wrote about the best 12-month rate for AEP Ohio (Check out that post here<\/a>.) At the time, the Public Power 12-month fixed rate<\/strong> plan had the cheapest rate at 5.9 cents per kWh.<\/p>\n

Six months later, the same plan has increased by 5%! Currently at 6.2 cents per kWh, the Public Power 12-month fixed<\/strong><\/a> plan continues to delivers a solid electric rate. But the change in price over only six months\u2019 time clearly demonstrates that rates are trending upwards. This is precisely why choosing an electric plan<\/a> with a fixed-rate will save you money long-term.<\/p>\n

Compare 12-month fixed rate plans to find the cheapest rate<\/a> in Columbus.<\/h3>\n

The U.S. Energy Information Administration predicts electric prices will continue to increase <\/a>through 2019. That means it\u2019s a great time to compare plans, find the best electric provider in Columbus<\/a>, and lock-in a low rate.<\/p>\n

Right now, the cheapest rate among Columbus electric suppliers<\/a>, you want the Direct Energy Live Brighter 12<\/strong><\/a> plan, which provides electricity at 5.9 cents per kWh. With the average home using about 895 kWh per month, Direct Energy<\/strong> saves you $26.85 per month and $322.20 per year compared to Public Power<\/strong>. And when you compare it to other plans in the area, Direct Energy<\/strong> could save you as much as 14% on electricity.<\/p>\n

With its price set at 6.7 cents per kWh, the Constellation 12-month green electricity plan<\/strong> <\/a> may not compete as one of the cheapest rates in Columbus, but the plan\u2019s electricity is 100% generated by wind turbines, making it an enticing option for eco-conscious consumers seeking options for green energy in Ohio<\/a>. Consumers should be aware, however, that Constellation<\/strong> does assess a $25 cancellation fee. Neither Direct Energy<\/strong> and Public Power <\/strong>plans, on the other hand, require cancellation fees.<\/p>\n
