How to opt out
You can leave Clean Energy Columbus at any time. There are no cancellation fees, no penalties, and no minimum commitment. To opt out:
- Call AEP Energy at 877-726-0214
- Or visit CleanEnergyColumbus.org to request opt-out online
Once processed, you'll be returned to AEP Ohio's standard generation supply service at the current Price to Compare rate. Your delivery service, account number, and everything else remains the same.
Before you opt out
The current CEC rate (10.01¢/kWh) is lower than AEP Ohio's standard offer (10.97¢/kWh). Staying enrolled saves the average household ~$115/year while keeping your electricity 100% clean. Compare rates →
