Frankfort's deregulated electricity market

Three key components form the foundation of Ohio's deregulated electricity market: generation, transmission, and distribution.

This system operates under the PJM Interconnection wholesale market, where power plants compete to sell electricity.

In this deregulated environment, you're free to choose between Competitive Retail Electricity Service (CRES) providers or Standard Service Offer (SSO) providers for your electricity supply.

The market uses locational marginal pricing to manage transmission congestion and encourage infrastructure development.

While studies show mixed results, deregulation has helped Ohio outperform regulated Midwest states in controlling electricity costs, though utilities can still pass certain non-regulated costs to customers.

Types of electricity plans in Frankfort, OH

Frankfort residents can choose from several distinct electricity plan types, each offering unique advantages and potential trade-offs for consumers' specific needs.

Fixed-Rate Plans: Lock in a single per-kWh rate for 3-36 months, providing predictable bills but potentially higher costs if market prices drop.
Variable-Rate Plans: Offer flexibility with no contracts but expose you to market price fluctuations.
No-Deposit and Prepaid Plans: Eliminate upfront deposits and allow precise budgeting, though rates tend to be higher.
Renewable Energy Plans: Support green initiatives through wind and solar power, typically at premium rates.
