Local context, in plain English.
Columbus is a metro of about 906,528 in central ohio. The utility footprint here is dominated by AEP Ohio and Columbia Gas of Ohio, which means every Columbus buyer is on one of those utilities for delivery — wires, meter, outage response — regardless of which supplier they pick on the supply side.
Because Ohio is a deregulated supply market, Columbus buyers can pick from a multi-supplier shelf and lock a fixed rate for 12, 24, 36, or 48 months. The supplier sets the per-kWh rate; the utility still bills, owns the wires, and responds to outages. We surface the licensed shelf, rank by methodology, and let the buyer pick the term that aligns with their planning window.
Estimated savings for Columbus buyers based on the 2025–2026 Seenra customer book sit in the up-to-14.6% range on the supply line. Actual savings vary by ZIP, by load profile, and by the day you lock — never guaranteed, always disclosed in the quote.
