But while you might need to stay at home, you don&#8217;t need to stay with a high electricity rate, especially when rates are low.

With a rate of 5.19 cents per kWh, its low price keeps it ahead of other no cancellation fee plans. \u00a0While the price is attractive, <\/span><b>Direct Energy<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> doesn\u2019t offer a rewards program. However <\/span><b>Direct Energy\u2019s<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> low rates are one of the reasons it\u2019s the 3rd most popular <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ohenergyratings.com\/read-reviews\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">electricity company in Ohio<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Who is the Best Ohio Electricity Company?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ohenergyratings.com\/plans\/public-power\/details\/12-month-fixed\"><b>Public Power\u2019s<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> 12 Month Fixed<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> plan has the second lowest rate of these three plans.

While the discounts you could get from <\/span><b>Public Power<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> might not seem convenient during these times of self quarantine, they could help save money later when you&#8217;re restocking supplies.

Priced at 5.79 cents per kWh, it has the highest price of these three plans.\u00a0<b>Energy Harbor<\/b>, like <strong>Direct Energy<\/strong>,\u00a0does not offer any reward program. However, even with its higher rate, it doesn&#8217;t mean it always costs customers more than plans with a lower rate. For example, a<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ssuming an average <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eia.gov\/electricity\/sales_revenue_price\/pdf\/table5_a.pdf\">Ohio electricity usage<\/a> of 914 kWh, you could spend up to $52.92 on a monthly bill with <strong>Energy Harbor<\/strong>. Sure, some cheap plans offer lower rate between 5.10-5.60 cents per kWh, but some of them have<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0cancellation fee that range from $100-$150.
