NOPEC - Cleveland Natural Gas Choice
NOPEC (Northeast Ohio Public Energy Council) is a nonprofit aggregator that negotiates bulk natural gas rates for member communities, including Cleveland. You may have recently received an opt-out letter — this is standard practice and happens every 2 years for natural gas.
SOPEC - Cleveland Community Choice Electric Aggregation
The City of Cleveland, in partnership with Cleveland City Council and SOPEC (Sustainable Ohio Public Energy Council), continues to offer the Community Choice Electric Aggregation (CCA) Program.
This program provides residents and small business customers of the FirstEnergy/Illuminating Company with access to 100% renewable electricity at a competitive fixed rate.

Tax Credits & Incentives
Tax credits are available for both homeowners and renters to make energy-efficient upgrades more affordable, including heat pumps, electric stoves, insulation, solar panels, and more.
With new federal, state, and utility-level incentives, you could save thousands on clean, climate-friendly improvements. See what you’re eligible for and take advantage before these credits expire.
Utility Assistance Programs
If you’re a low-income household facing high energy costs, there are assistance programs designed to help ease your burden. We encourage you to explore and enroll in local utility assistance programs that can make managing your energy bills more affordable.
