Important Update on Rising Electricity Rates in Twinsburg
We want to keep you informed about upcoming changes that will affect your electricity bills. Starting in June 2025, electricity rates across Ohio—including here in Twinsburg—are expected to rise due to changes made by PJM Interconnection, the company that manages our region’s power grid.
What This Means for You
• The average household could see a 10-15% increase in total electricity costs.
• This translates to about 2 cents more per kilowatt-hour (kWh).
• These higher rates are expected to last for 3 to 5 years while new power sources are brought online.
Who Is Affected?
This rate increase will impact all electricity providers, including NOPEC (Twinsburg’s electric aggregator) and any other suppliers you may choose. The increase is tied to regional capacity charges set by PJM Interconnection, so switching providers will not eliminate this added cost.
How You Can Manage Rising Costs
To help offset the impact of rising electricity rates, consider these energy-saving tips:
• Compare Rates: Use the Ohio Apples-to-Apples website to ensure you’re getting the most competitive rate for your electricity supply.
• Use Energy-Efficient Appliances: Look for ENERGY STAR-certified products.
• Install Smart Thermostats: Optimize heating and cooling to reduce unnecessary energy use.
• Improve Home Insulation: Sealing drafts around windows and doors can significantly cut heating and cooling costs.
• Consider Renewable Energy: Explore options like solar panels to generate your own electricity.
• Schedule an Energy Audit: Identify areas where your home could be more energy-efficient.
Even simple actions—like turning off lights when not in use and unplugging devices—can help lower your overall energy usage.
We will continue to monitor this situation and keep you updated on any developments. Thank you for staying informed and helping Twinsburg remain energy-conscious.
