Load Factor Calculator

Your load factor indicates how consistently you use electricity. Higher load factors (70%+) often qualify for better rates.

Natural Gas Impact

Natural gas prices directly affect Ohio electricity costs. About 40% of Ohio's electricity comes from gas-fired plants.

  • Gas prices up = Higher electricity rates
  • Gas prices down = Lower electricity rates
  • Winter demand spikes can cause price volatility

When to Lock Rates

Timing matters when choosing fixed vs. variable rates:

  • Lock rates when gas prices are low or expected to rise
  • Variable rates may win when markets are declining
  • Best time to shop: 60-90 days before contract ends
