Electric

Since 2001, Ohioans have had the right to choose when it comes to their electric supplier. Ohio Power, Ohio Edison, Holmes-Wayne REA, Lorain-Medina REA, Marshallville Village Electric, and City of Orrville Electric provide power for homes and businesses in Wayne County.

At an estimated annualized rate, average cost per kilowatt-hour for a small commercial or industrial customer with a secondary standard service would be in the 10 cent range. A medium sized customer (who owns their own transformer for example) would average in the 7-8 cent range, and a large customer (owning their own substation) would average in the 6 cent range.
