Rate Schedules & Tariff Analysis
Ohio Edison C&I bills unbundle regulated delivery (distribution, transmission, and a stack of bypassable and non-bypassable riders) from competitive generation. Generation is the largest discretionary lever: customers can take the SSO Price to Compare or shop a competitive supplier. Demand charges on Rate GP and GT make peak management important, and exact per-unit delivery, demand, and rider figures are governed by the FirstEnergy Ohio tariff book filed at PUCO.
Ohio Edison Company Rate Schedule List
| Schedule | Applicability |
|---|---|
| Rate GS - General Service | Small commercial under ~15 kW |
| Rate GP - General Purpose | Medium commercial ~15-500 kW (demand-based) |
| Rate GT - General Transmission | Large customers over ~500 kW |
| Standard Service Offer (Price to Compare) | Default generation for non-shopping customers |
Ohio Edison Company Rate Features & TOU Details
- Delivery vs. generation are unbundled; generation is competitive
- SSO Price to Compare set by wholesale auction and reset periodically (rose June 1, 2026)
- Rate GP and GT carry demand charges ($/kW), making peak management material
- Multiple bypassable and non-bypassable riders affect the all-in delivery rate
- Economic development and reasonable-arrangement rates available for large/expanding loads

Ohio Edison Company Data Access FAQ
Can my business get interval (15-minute) electricity data from Ohio Edison?▾
Yes, but not through self-service Green Button. Ohio Edison's smart meters support interval data. Customers can see billing-level interval trends in the Home Energy Analyzer or get near real-time data via a HAN device. For 15- or 30-minute historical interval data, an authorized supplier or service provider pulls it through the SU-MR portal, EDI 814HU/867HU, or the StS HIU system-to-system platform, using EDI-implied authorization or a customer LOA.
Does Ohio Edison support Green Button or a public API?▾
No. Ohio Edison is not in the Green Button Alliance directory and offers no Green Button Download/Connect My Data and no public REST API. Third-party programmatic access is through the SU-MR portal, ANSI X12 EDI, or StS HIU, all of which require supplier/third-party registration and customer authorization.
How does a consultant or aggregator get authorized to pull our usage data?▾
A PUCO-certified supplier can use EDI-implied authorization for its own retail customers. Otherwise, register through FirstEnergy's Third-Party Data Access portal (W-9 and NDA), then attach a signed Letter of Authorization that names the data, date range, and recipient. Individual data needs an LOA; aggregated/anonymous data does not. Fees may apply.
Which rate class applies to a commercial or industrial account?▾
Ohio Edison's main classes are Rate GS (General Service, small commercial under ~15 kW), Rate GP (General Purpose, medium commercial 15-500 kW, with demand charges), and Rate GT (General Transmission, large customers over 500 kW served at primary/transmission voltage). The bill separates regulated delivery (distribution, transmission, riders) from generation, which is either the SSO Price to Compare or a competitive supplier rate. See the Ohio tariff book for exact per-unit charges.
What is the Price to Compare and can we shop for supply?▾
Yes. Ohio is deregulated. The Price to Compare (PTC) is the utility's default generation rate from the Standard Service Offer auction; you can buy generation from a competitive supplier instead. As of June 1, 2026 the residential PTC rose to about 10.83 cents/kWh (from 9.97 cents/kWh), and the General Service Secondary Rider GEN is about 9.3786 cents/kWh. Shop competitive offers at energychoice.ohio.gov and compare against the current PTC for your class.
