AEP Ohio customers will pay more to stay cool this summer, with standard bills expected to increase by about 28% starting Thursday. Driving the news: Rising demand and energy prices worldwide are making it more expensive for power plants to generate electricity — a cost they charge to providers like AEP Ohio, which then pass it on to customers. AEP spokesperson Scott Blake tells Axios the increased cost to consumers is the "dollar for dollar" increased price they're facing. Be smart: Energy is deregulated in Ohio, meaning customers can shop around for electricity providers that offer the best prices.
