About Energy Choice in Toledo
Along the western Lake Erie shoreline, Toledo's electric delivery is handled by Toledo Edison — one of three FirstEnergy operating companies in Ohio. Its default supply, called the Price to Compare, is set through periodic auctions and appears as a line item on every residential bill.
Because Toledo sits on the Michigan border and inside the PJM wholesale market, its Price to Compare tends to track PJM capacity auction outcomes rather than gas-fired peaker economics further south. That makes fixed-rate shopping useful specifically when PJM capacity clears high and Toledo Edison's default rate resets upward.
PUCO's Apples to Apples site publishes every certified supplier offer against Toledo Edison's current Price to Compare. Households sign up directly with the supplier or through the state site; Toledo Edison keeps issuing the bill and responding to storm outages regardless of who supplies the electrons.
Toledo's aging housing stock and cold-lake winters can push winter kWh usage well above the Ohio average, so the term of the contract matters as much as the rate — a 6-month teaser that expires in January is not the same product as a 24-month fixed price.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who is the electric utility for Toledo, OH?
Toledo Edison, a FirstEnergy operating company, is the electric distribution utility for Toledo and most of northwest Ohio. It owns the poles, wires, and meters and stays your point of contact for outages even if you shop suppliers.
What does Toledo Edison's Price to Compare mean on my bill?
It's the default generation rate Toledo Edison charges customers who haven't chosen a competitive supplier. Compare any supplier's per-kWh offer directly against that number for the months the contract will actually run.
Is Toledo's natural gas deregulated too?
Yes. Columbia Gas of Ohio serves Toledo and participates in Ohio's natural gas Choice program, so households can pick a certified gas supplier while Columbia Gas continues to deliver the fuel and handle leak response.
How do I report a Toledo Edison power outage?
Call 1-888-LIGHTSS (1-888-544-4877) or report it through FirstEnergy's outage map. Toledo Edison — not your competitive supplier — dispatches the crews and restores service.
Does switching suppliers affect Toledo Edison's low-income programs?
No. PIPP Plus and other Ohio assistance programs are administered on the delivery side. Toledo Edison customers remain eligible whether or not they shop the generation portion of the bill.
