Dayton Power & Light Co Electricity Rate per kWh (2024 EIA Data)

Dayton Power & Light Co is an investor-owned electric utility that reports to the U.S. Energy Information Administration under utility number 4922. In 2024 it served 132,522 bundled residential customers in Ohio (plus 346,219 delivery-only residential accounts that buy their energy from a competitive supplier), and its average realised residential price was 15.32 cents per kWh: $223 million of residential revenue divided by 1.46 million MWh of residential sales.

Across the other sectors, Dayton Power & Light Co's 2024 average prices were 13.87 cents for commercial customers (11,039 accounts) and 13.36 cents for industrial customers (184 accounts). Industrial customers paid 1.96 cents less per kWh than households, a 13% discount that is typical of high-volume, high-voltage service. Ohio allows retail choice, so the customer base splits two ways: 132,522 residential customers took bundled service (energy plus delivery) at 15.32 cents per kWh, while 346,219 bought their energy from a competitive supplier and paid Dayton Power & Light Co only for delivery, which averaged 5.97 cents per kWh for the wires portion.

Within Ohio, Dayton Power & Light Co ranked number 5 of 37 utilities with bundled or delivery service by residential accounts served (478,741, bundled plus delivery-only) and accounted for 10.14% of the state's residential electricity sales in 2024, measured in MWh sold or delivered rather than in customers. The state-wide average realised residential price in 2024, computed from the same EIA file, was 15.99 cents per kWh, so Dayton Power & Light Co's customers paid 0.67 cents below the Ohio average (-4.2%). For context, EIA's latest monthly figure for Ohio is 19.19 cents per kWh (June 2026, Electric Power Monthly); that is a different, more recent measure across all utilities and is not directly comparable with a 2024 annual average.
