Dayton commercial electricity at a glance

Dayton (Montgomery County) is delivered by AES Ohio, which stays the wires company whichever supplier a business picks. Dayton is delivered by AES Ohio, the utility formerly known as Dayton Power and Light. The EIA publishes a statewide figure, not a city one: the average Ohio commercial account paid 13.77¢ per kWh all-in, supply and delivery together, versus 14.19¢ nationally (EIA, 06/2026), and used about 8,278 kWh a month (EIA, through 2026).
