Akron, OH commercial electricity rates
Who delivers electricity to Akron businesses, how retail supplier choice works there, the Ohio commercial average with its EIA data month, and who regulates it. Market context with its source and date, never a quote.
EIA averages, data through 06/2026, published per state. All-in means supply and delivery together; supplier contract quotes cover the supply portion only, so the two are not directly comparable.
Akron commercial electricity at a glance
Akron (Summit County) is delivered by Ohio Edison, which stays the wires company whichever supplier a business picks. Akron is delivered by Ohio Edison, the largest of the three FirstEnergy utilities in the state. The EIA publishes a statewide figure, not a city one: the average Ohio commercial account paid 13.77¢ per kWh all-in, supply and delivery together, versus 14.19¢ nationally (EIA, 06/2026), and used about 8,278 kWh a month (EIA, through 2026). That average mixes corner stores with hospitals, so it is market context rather than a quote for any one business, and supplier contract quotes cover the supply portion only, so the two figures are not directly comparable.
