Commercial Electric Rates in Dayton, Ohio (AES Ohio)

Dayton commercial electricity: start from the bill header

Before any supplier conversation about Dayton, read the utility name on each PDF. Most accounts here are delivered by AES Ohio. Competitive supply does not change who restores outages.

Peak theme for this market: multi-shift plants vs lab/office. Wright-Patterson adjacency creates lab/office loads that should not be averaged with multi-shift plants in one target rate.

Illustrative scale for a Dayton-sized load (not a promise)

If a Dayton site used about 1,100,000 kWh/year, a 0.40¢/kWh true supply improvement (after equalizing fees, bandwidth, and pass-throughs) is roughly $4,400/year before demand or rider effects.

Use this only to size attention—not as a forecast for your accounts.
