Electric and natural gas Aggregation Information

According to the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio (PUCO), an aggregator is a person or organization that brings a group of customers together. A large buying group may be able to get better terms for the group members than you could get on your own. This “buying power” may also allow aggregators to negotiate for additional benefits for the group’s members such as consolidated billing, energy management services and energy use analysis. Ohio’s law allows for local government aggregation by cities, townships or counties, with "opt-in" or "opt-out" provisions for their consumers. All aggregators must be certified by the PUCO to make sure they are qualified to provide electricity or natural gas in Ohio.

SOPEC is an opt-out governmental aggregator for both electricity and/or natural gas. Read more about aggregation at the links below.
