- More Ohioans are getting their power shut off as energy costs surge
More Ohioans are facing power shut-offs due to unpaid utility bills, with 7.7% of customers disconnected in the latest reporting period. Electricity bills in Ohio rose by 53% from June 2021 to June 2026, driven by factors like increased demand, extreme weather, and aging infrastructure.
