The kilowatt-hour tax was created by the Ohio General
Assembly in 2001 as part of a broader legislative effort to
deregulate electric utilities. It applies to electric
distribution companies with end users in Ohio as well as
certain self-assessing commercial or industrial purchasers of
electricity.Rates are tiered, and vary according to the
kilowatt-hour (kWh) consumption of individual end users of
electricity.
