Beavercreek's business base
Beavercreek had 46,549 residents in the 2020 Census. Hospitals, campuses and plants tend to buy through structured bids with interval data, while offices, shops and restaurants usually fall under Ohio's 700,000 kWh-a-year “mercantile” line and buy standard small-business products.
The price to beat on AES Ohio
AES Ohio does not publish one small-business price to compare — it depends on your rate schedule (secondary service) and appears on your bill. For reference, PUCO's residential price to compare for AES Ohio was 10.86¢/kWh for June 2026 – May 2027 annual average; business figures differ.
That default — PUCO calls it the price to compare — is what a Beavercreek business pays for generation if it never signs with a supplier. A supplier offer only helps if its all-in generation price, including capacity and any broker fee, beats it on your usage. Statewide, EIA data show the average all-in commercial price rose to about 13.78¢/kWh in the first half of 2026 from 11.07¢ a year earlier, mostly because PJM capacity prices jumped from $28.92 to $329.17 per MW-day.
The delivery utility remains responsible for the wires. Tariff charges can change over time; confirm which transmission and other components are included in a supply offer. AES Ohio's latest rate-case status: PUCO accepted a settlement in November 2025 raising AES Ohio base distribution revenue by about $168 million a year; a three-year plan for 2027–2029 filed July 21, 2026 proposes roughly 1% average annual increases.
Is Beavercreek in a community aggregation program?
We haven't identified an opt-out electric aggregation program covering Beavercreek as of September 2026. If your bill lists a supplier you didn't choose, it may come from a township or county program — the supplier's name and phone number are on the bill's generation section.

Switching suppliers in Beavercreek
Send 12 months of AES Ohio bills (interval data for larger sites), the account numbers and the legal name on the account, plus any current supplier's end date. Ask every bidder to show capacity and broker compensation as separate lines (how broker fees work), and compare each offer with AES Ohio's default price on the same usage. AES Ohio switches your supply on a scheduled meter-read date after enrollment is processed — typically one to two billing cycles. Step-by-step detail is in our AES Ohio guide.

Decision worksheet: a business site in Beavercreek
Resolve the account before the price
For an account whose bill names AES Ohio, check its actual business rate class and current supply arrangement. A nearby municipal or cooperative account can have different options. Start with the delivery company, legal customer and service address; a city name cannot establish those details.
The useful county-level comparison is Greene County. Other city guides from that county include Fairborn, Xenia. Those links describe related service-area questions, not a promise that every address shares one provider.
Three different decisions can sit behind one bill question
| Your Beavercreek situation | First document to check | Appropriate next step |
|---|---|---|
| Existing supplier agreement is ending | Signed renewal/termination clause and last complete bill | Use the renewal planner, then confirm the actual contractual notice dates |
| Building operation or ownership is changing | Lease/ownership responsibility and the expected load change | Ask about assignment, add/delete rights and volume tolerances before quoting |
| Bill is higher but operations look unchanged | Comparable kWh, demand and charge components for the same period | Separate price, usage and demand effects rather than assuming a supply switch fixes everything |
For this local review, the AES Ohio guide explains the supply-versus-delivery distinction. Keep tax, banking and account identifiers out of the first inquiry. A discussion can establish whether any private document exchange is needed.
