Dayton Power & Light Energy Choice

Ohio deregulated its electricity markets in 1999, giving Ohioans Energy Choice. After that, they were no longer stuck with their local utility provider's electricity supply and could now switch providers.

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 incentiveslike smart home productsfor switching. You can also find plans with renewable energy.

Dayton Power & Light Renewable Energy

Dayton Power & Light has multiple sustainability programs that you can participate in. For example, if you want to install a solar roof, you can use net metering and save money on your electricity bill.

However, you don't have to spend thousands of dollars on a solar roof to support renewable energy. You can choose a renewable energy electricity plan instead. When you switch to a 100% renewable plan, your electricity provider offsets your usage with renewable energy credits (REC’s) ensuring that more renewable energy enters the grid.

If you want to switch to a renewable energy plan, look for the 100% Renewable Sources label on any ElectricityRates.com electricity plan.

Dayton Power & Light Service Area

Dayton Power & Light's service area covers 24 Ohio counties throughout West Central Ohio, including the cities of Dayton, Kettering and Greenville.

  • 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
