Boardman Township Electric Aggregation Program

In February of 2026, Boardman Township entered into an aggregation program with Dynegy, a company that provides a new fixed rate of 9.87 cents/kWh for 26-months for Boardman residents. As electric rates rise and markets become increasingly volatile, this program provides a fixed rate below 10 cent/kWh for the longest term that was available to the Township. Unless you have opted out of this agreement, your home and electric bill ARE covered by this agreement until June 2028.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if I am in the aggregation program?
Active participants in the aggregation will see the supplier’s name (Dynegy) and the aggregation rate ($0.0987/kWh) on their Ohio Edison electric bill. If you wish to confirm your status in the aggregation, call Dynegy at 888-682-2170.

Who can answer my questions about the program?
The Township is pleased to have made this program possible, but residents with questions should contact Dynegy at 888-682-2170.

Why is the rate higher than the previous term?
Electric prices have continued to rise over the past few years. This is a result of the inflation of costs to produce electricity as well as costs associated with rising demand for electricity.

What are my other supply options outside of the aggregation?
Residents can always remain with, or return to, the utility’s default supply service. Ohio Edison’s default supply rate is a variable rate that changes monthly/quarterly.

Residents can shop for other supply options through the Public Utility Commission’s Apples-to-Apples website at www.energychoice.ohio.gov .

Electric Service

Electric Service is provided by Ohio Edison, a First Energy Company. For service or billing questions, call 1-800-633-4766.

To report a power outage, call 1-888-LIGHTSS (1-888-544-4877) Please use the information provided on the First Energy website under Service Requests for any of the following issues:

  • Start or Stop Service
  • Report a Tree Problem
  • Report a Lighting Problem (Street Light Outage)
  • Request Electric Work (Builders and Contractors)

Streetlights are essential to our communities, from supporting safety and security to helping to project an image of being a thriving place that is “open for business” to residents and visitors. Ensuring the streetlights come on each night is very important, from both a company and customer perspective, because improved street lighting can help reduce crime in local neighborhoods and communities.

Ohio Edison relies on customers to contact us when they see that a light is out on their street corner or along a road because it’s a critical step in our efforts to make timely repairs.

Here are the best ways to report a streetlight outage:

  • Call us at 1-888-LIGHTSS (1-888-544-4877) and say “streetlight” after the greeting.
  • Use this link to report the lighting problem online.
  • When reporting an outage, let us know:
    • Your name and phone number (in case we need more information).
    • Address where the streetlight is located (nearest house or business address and the nearest cross street).
    • Number on the utility pole. HINT: Tie a ribbon around pole and mention it when reporting
    • What is wrong with the streetlight (damaged pole; broken light fixture; light is off at night, on during the day, or flickers).

If you’re without power, do not rely on your neighbors to report it. Individual customer-reported outages help us pinpoint the damage locations, which can help speed restoration since we can get a crew there faster.

Please always report your outage by:

  • Calling 1-888-LIGHTSS (1-888-544-4877)
  • Texting OUT to 544487 (LIGHTS)
  • Visiting www.ohioedison.com and clicking “Report Outage”

If you spot a downed or low-hanging power line, always assume it is energized and STAY FAR AWAY. Report it immediately by calling 911.

Cold Weather Tips

Cold Weather Tips for Customers

With the winter storm season also comes frigid temperatures and rising energy costs. Customers can take steps to keep their homes comfortable while managing their electricity bill this cold season. The following tips can help customers use electricity wisely during this period of high demand:

  • Seal any leaks around windows and door frames with caulk or weather stripping to prevent cold air from sneaking into your home.
  • Close the fireplace damper when it is not in use to keep cold air out.
  • Close the drapes at night. During the day, only open those that receive direct sunlight.
  • Check furnace fan filters. Clogged filters waste energy and money by forcing a heating system to work harder than necessary.
  • Make sure your home is properly insulated. If you have less than six inches of insulation, you’ll benefit by adding more.
  • Payment arrangements and assistance programs are available for customers who need help with their electric bills. For more information, visit  firstenergycorp.com/billassist.
