  • You will continue to receive one bill from The Illuminating Company.
     
  • The current aggregation program rate is $0.09236 per kWh (through July 2026). This rate is a fixed-term supply rate that offers savings over The Illuminating Company’s current Price to Compare of $0.0950 per kWh (through March 31, 2026).

What Happens Next?

  • In the first two years of the program, Cleveland residents and small businesses saved an estimated $20 million compared to the utility default rate!
