As reported earlier, electricity costs for non-shopping customers (on a utility’s standard service offer) are expected to increase 30-40% starting in June, based on recent results from market-based auctions for generation. Customers on the default service supply are urged to competitively procure their power before June 1. To help members better understand the coming rate hikes — and to provide guidance on how to avoid or minimize higher costs — OMA Connections Partner Scioto Energy has published this memo. The firm notes that action must be taken soon. 4/6/2023
