In Columbus, you get to choose which company supplies your electricity and natural gas. And that has its perks! Let’s explore more on energy choice.
In the old days, Columbus customers had little or no say in who powered their homes. People relied on a single utility company for electricity or natural gas. Then, energy deregulation, or energy choice, changed the game.
It puts the power in your hands by giving you the ability to choose your electricity and natural gas providers. Now, you aren’t stuck with limited options. You have the freedom to shop for the plans and rates that best fit your needs.
Thanks to energy choice, retail energy companies (like us) compete for your business. A little healthy competition means you get to enjoy some great benefits!
They generate electricity and natural gas and sell it to suppliers.

We can’t get over how well Columbus cleverly blends the past with the present, the traditional with the innovative!
