About Energy Choice in Canton
Canton and the surrounding Stark County communities are inside Ohio Edison's footprint — the same FirstEnergy operating utility that covers Akron and much of northeast Ohio outside Cleveland. Whether you live near downtown Canton or out toward Massillon and North Canton, the utility on your delivery charges is Ohio Edison.
Energy Choice doesn't rewire anything. Ohio Edison keeps every pole, transformer and meter on its side of the ledger; the competitive supplier only sells you the electrons that flow across those wires. The 'Price to Compare' line on your Canton bill is Ohio Edison's default generation rate — the number a supplier needs to beat for a switch to save money.
Because Canton's economy still leans on manufacturing and logistics, small businesses and industrial-adjacent households often carry heavier load profiles than a typical residential average. That amplifies the impact of even small rate differences over a 12- or 24-month contract, which is why term length and rate certainty matter more here than in low-usage markets.
All Ohio Edison-territory offers are listed on PUCO's Apples to Apples site with Canton ZIPs treated the same as Akron's. Enroll through the supplier or the state site; Ohio Edison switches the rate on the next scheduled read and keeps issuing one consolidated bill.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which company delivers electricity to Canton, OH?
Ohio Edison, a FirstEnergy operating utility. It's the electric distribution company for Canton and most of Stark County, and it stays responsible for the wires and outage response after you switch suppliers.
How do I find Ohio Edison's current Price to Compare for Canton?
It's printed on every Canton bill and posted on Ohio Edison's website and PUCO's Apples to Apples comparison site. That per-kWh figure is the benchmark for judging any competitive offer over the contract term.
Is Canton's natural gas also deregulated?
Yes. Dominion Energy Ohio, doing business as Enbridge Gas Ohio, is Canton's gas distribution utility and participates in Ohio's natural gas Choice program. Gas and electricity are shopped separately.
Does Canton have a municipal aggregation?
Some Stark County communities have voted in electric aggregation programs; Canton residents should check their most recent bill to see whether they're enrolled in an aggregation supplier by default. Opting out and shopping individually is always allowed.
Who do I call during a Canton power outage?
Ohio Edison at 1-888-LIGHTSS (1-888-544-4877). Ohio Edison — not your supplier — dispatches every crew that restores service in Canton.
