About FirstEnergy
FirstEnergy Corp. is a major electric utility holding company that supplies electricity and related services to millions of customers in Ohio, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, West Virginia, Maryland, and New York through its regional operating companies (such as Ohio Edison, The Illuminating Company, Toledo Edison, Met-Ed, Penelec, and others). They handle electric service setup, metering, billing, and customer support for households and businesses in their service territories.
A transaction labeled like “FirstEnergy OPCO-ACH” typically indicates an electronic bank draft (ACH payment) made to one of FirstEnergy’s operating companies for an electricity bill. The “OPCO” portion refers to an operating company, and the numeric code (such as 260901) is often an internal company ID or reference associated with ACH debits. This type of charge usually represents a one-time online payment, an automatic recurring bill payment, or a payment arranged through your bank’s bill-pay service.
If you have questions about this charge, first compare the amount and date with your most recent FirstEnergy electric bill or your online account history. Log into your FirstEnergy (or specific operating company) account via their website or mobile app to review recent payments and billing statements. If you still don’t recognize the transaction, contact FirstEnergy customer service using the phone number on your bill or on their website, and provide the transaction date and amount so they can trace the payment. You can also check with your bank for the ACH company ID associated with the debit to confirm it matches FirstEnergy’s records.
