Energy Choice allows you to lock in a low fixed-rate electricity plan. This means that for the duration of your plan, you won’t have to worry about unexpected rate hikes on your electricity supply. It can also help you save big on your electricity bill.

But these are not your only options. With Energy Choice, you can take advantage of a plan that offers incentives—like smart home products—for switching. You can also find plans with renewable energy.

How To Read Your Dayton Power & Light Electricity Bill

When you are thinking about switching electricity suppliers, it’s important to understand how it affects your electricity bill. Your electricity bill splits your charges into two sections: delivery charges and supply charges. Switching electricity providers only affects your supply charges.

Delivery Charges

  • Do not change when you switch electricity suppliers
  • For the delivery and transmission of electricity to your home
  • Charged by your electric utility (DP&L)

Supply Charges

  • Can be lower if you switch electricity providers
  • Based on the electricity that you use by the kilowatt-hour (kWh)
  • Charged by your electricity provider or your public utility by default
