Supplying Electricity to AEP Ohio Customers

What Does Energy Choice Mean for Electricity Customers?

Thanks to deregulation of the Ohio energy market, AEP Ohio customers have the freedom to purchase electricity from independent suppliers like Shipley Energy. Before the market was deregulated, utility companies like AEP Ohio set electricity rates, and customers had no other options. After deregulation, many independent suppliers entered the market. These suppliers purchase energy from generation companies at discounted rates, resulting in cost savings for customers.

What Happens When You Choose a Supplier?

Choosing an electricity supplier does not affect your relationship with AEP Ohio. Here’s what to expect when you switch suppliers:

• There will be no interruption to your service.
• AEP Ohio will continue to deliver your electricity.
• The billing process will still go through AEP Ohio.
• Your bill will specify Shipley Energy as your electricity provider and you’ll receive the rate you signed up for.
• You will not receive a service fee from Shipley Energy for switching.
