County selects Dynegy as Electric Aggregation Program supplier

New rate begins May 2026

Medina County has selected Dynegy as the supplier for its Electric Aggregation Program. The program’s previous supplier, Energy Harbor, was acquired by Dynegy in 2024; therefore, the incumbent supplier has been chosen for the upcoming program.

Enrollment in the program is automatic for eligible residents and businesses — there is no cost to participate, and no switching fees will be charged.

Electricity prices have been rising in Ohio since mid‑2025, when PJM’s 2025–2026 capacity auction cleared about 700% higher than the previous year.

There have been two subsequent capacity auctions for 2026–2027 and 2027–2028 since June 2025, with both clearing at the top of the predicted range. The latest result marked the third consecutive year that clearing prices hit the peak of the range.

Nationwide, and in Ohio in particular, rapid demand growth from data centers and AI loads has contributed to upward pressure on prices.

These facilities require large, steady power draws, and their growth in Ohio has raised the state’s peak demand forecast, increasing capacity needs.

Grid planners and PJM have identified data center and AI load growth as a structural upward pressure on prices.
