Toledo Edison History
The Toledo Edison Company is a descendant of Toledo's early streetcar and electric companies that served the metropolitan area as far back as 1881. Toledo Edison itself began supplying electricity to the city in November, 1921 and quickly expanded to serve most of northwest Ohio.
As part of Ohio electric deregulation in 1999, Toledo Edison sold off its generation and retail businesses to focus on maintaining the transformers, substations, the poles and wires throughout its service territory to deliver electricity reliably and safely to all of its customers, no matter who supplies that electricity.
Today, Toledo Edison is part of the FirstEnergy family of companies that generate, supply, and deliver energy to customers in customers in Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, and Ohio.
Toledo Edison gives back to its community through a number of programs sponsored by FirstEnergy. These include energy conservation efforts like the Community Connections Program, supporting education with school supply donations and hiring new graduates, and assisting local food banks via the United Way. In 2019, FirstEnergy was recognized for the 21st consecutive year as a Tree Line USA utility by the National Arbor Day Foundation, for demonstrating excellence in tree care, training, and public education.

What is the Toledo Edison Price to Compare?
Toledo Edison's Price to Compare (PTC) is a PUCO-approved default rate for the electricity generation supply that you can select if you don't want to shop for retail supplier. The rate is a pass-through and represents the actual price Toledo Edison pays for the electricity.
Because rates are determined during periodic auctions, Toledo Edison's PTC only lasts for a few months. That means it can vary seasonally; low some months, higher the next.
Toledo Edison Current PTC Rate
Residential: 8.042 cents per kWh
Expiration date: 5/31/2025
NOTE: Some Ohio municipal utilities purchase power for their local residents. Usually residents need to pay an opt-out fee if they don't want their electricity service to be aggregated. Check with your local government to learn how you might be effected.
What is Ohio Energy Choice?
Ohio's electricity customers are free to choose to a state certified retail electricity supplier. There are many different providers in the Toledo Edison service area, offering a huge variety of plans at competitive rates.
Ohio retail electricity supplier rates are not controlled by PUCO. Rather retail suppliers compete with each on the wholesale electricity markets to offer the lowest prices to customers. That way, residents can compare and shop to find the best deal that best suits for their needs. Sure, it all can be confusing. But fortunately, Toledo Edison customers can use the PTC to compare offers by certified retail electricity suppliers. This makes it easier for you to judge which are the cheapest rates.
Shopping for the right electricity plan with the right rate should be a simple and straightforward process. But not everyone has the same needs. That's why retail electricity suppliers in Ohio offer two types of plans:
Understand Your Toledo Edison Electric Usage
While your electricity usage habits are unique to you, PUCO estimates that electricity customers in northwest Ohio tend to use an average of about 750 kWh per month.
Average Annual Usage Breakdown
Toledo Edison customers can request up to 24 months of their electric usage plus other relevant information free of charge.
The best way to cut your electricity bill is to reduce your usage:
Understand Toledo Edison Charges
Your electric bill is composed of the Electricity Supply Charges and the Distribution Charges.
- Electricity Supply Charges: This is the cost (in cents per kWh) for the electricity supplied in kWh by Toledo Edison or a retail supplier. Energy Choice charges from "alternative" or retail suppliers are listed under "Charges from Electric Generation Supplier".
- Distribution Charges: This charge consists of a flat customer charge per account and a distribution charge in cents per kWh for delivering electricity across Toledo Edison's local grid to a customer's home. All Toledo Edison's customers pay the same rate no matter who supplies their electricity. PUCO regulates Toledo Edison's distribution charges and these rates usually last several years before being reviewed by PUCO. Different Ohio utilities have different rates but basically they consist of a customer charge and a usage-rate charge.
Assuming the average Ohio monthly usage rate of 750 kWh, an average Toledo Edison PTC bill roughly breaks down like this:
| Rate per 750 kWh Used | Monthly Customer Charge | Total | |
| PTC Supply Rate | 8.042 cents | 0 | $60.32 |
| Monthly Distribution Charges | $0.035595 | $4.00 | $30.69 |
| Total Bill | $91.01 |
