What Is an Electricity Supplier?

Utility companies like Dayton Power & Light and Duke Energy are responsible for maintaining and managing the infrastructure that delivers electricity to homes and businesses in Ohio — but they don’t always produce electricity themselves. In some cases, they buy it on the open market and sell it to consumers at the going rate. In these cases, they may not make a profit which prevents them from exercising their buying power to deliver savings to customers.

That’s where an electricity supplier comes in. When you designate a supplier, you can benefit from fixed-rate plans that reduce pricing unpredictability and make budgeting easier. And if you commit when rates are low, you’ll save money over time.

Lower Ohio Electricity Rates Through Deregulation

Before 2001, Ohio’s commercial electricity prices were regulated by the government, and only local utility companies could sell electricity to customers in their designated service area. To increase competition and prevent monopolies, Ohio implemented deregulation to allow independent energy companies to enter the market and sell their products and services. As a result, Ohio businesses have the freedom to shop around and take advantage of low Ohio commercial electricity rates from suppliers like Shipley Energy.

At Shipley Energy, we’ve embraced innovation to deliver competitive electricity prices in Ohio. We’ve also made our business operations more efficient with practices like streamlined invoicing, paperless documentation, and e-billing. By eliminating non-essential administrative fees, we’re able to share those savings with our customers to provide even lower electricity prices.

Commercial Electricity From Shipley Energy

When Ohio deregulated the energy market, dozens of electricity suppliers popped up, seemingly overnight. While many are ethical and honest, others take advantage of business owners and attempt to rope them into unfavorable long-term contracts. That’s why it’s important to work with a company you trust.

Shipley Energy has been in business since 1929. We have a long history of selling and supplying wholesale fuel to customers throughout the state. Our move into the commercial energy market is a natural extension of our deep industry expertise.

When you choose Shipley Energy as your electricity supplier, your utility service remains the same while you benefit from our low rates. We believe in full transparency to ensure you understand deregulation and how it affects your supplier choices. You can browse our website for additional resources or give us a call at 1-800-839-1849 to speak with one of our electricity specialists.

What Affects Commercial Electricity Prices in Ohio?

There are numerous factors that affect Ohio commercial electricity rates, including:

  • Fuel prices: Fuel provides the energy necessary to generate and deliver electricity. When fuel costs fluctuate, those shifts directly impact electricity costs.
  • Power plant expenses: Power plants produce electricity. The cost of building, operating, and maintaining those plants affects electricity prices.
  • Transmission and distribution costs: Costs associated with transmitting and distributing electricity contribute to your electricity bill.
  • Seasonal variations: Your business is likely to pay more for electricity during the summer months when air conditioning systems run more frequently and demand is higher.
  • Location: Electricity prices vary based on location-specific factors like local fuel costs and power plant availability.

Our Commercial Electricity Pricing Plans

We help you determine the pricing plan that works best for your unique business requirements. Fixed-rate plans are a popular option for Ohio businesses. With a fixed-rate plan, you’ll pay the same price for your entire enrollment period, which can result in long-term savings on your electricity costs. A fixed-rate plan allows you to avoid market uncertainty caused by supply and demand, and you’ll benefit from more predictable pricing.

We also offer capped and collared pricing structures that keep your Ohio commercial electricity rates within a certain range. These plans enable you to take advantage of market fluctuations without exceeding specified price points.

Whatever plan you decide on, you can rest assured that your business will receive a reliable energy supply at competitive rates when you partner with Shipley Energy.

My favorite thing about Shipley Energy (Energy Objective) is working with a local, well-respected company. They look out for us by contacting us about renewal rates when the market is low, rather than waiting until my contract has ended and I’m out of time.
