Pennsylvania’s Electric Choice program, launched in 1996, created a competitive market for electricity supply, giving residents the right to choose their supplier while utilities continue to deliver power and maintain infrastructure.
The average residential electricity rate in Pennsylvania is around 18.98 cents per kilowatt-hour; however, some plans are available for as low as 9 cents per kilowatt-hour according to market data. To determine your potential savings, gather a recent bill to understand how many kilowatt-hours you use each month.
Use our comparison tool by entering your ZIP code to see current offers. Filter plans by fixed versus variable rates, contract length, renewable energy percentage and any introductory promotions. Always read the fine print, looking for early termination fees, monthly base charges and rate changes after introductory periods.
Switching suppliers is simple and seamless—there’s no service interruption, and your utility continues to respond to outages and emergencies. Once you’ve selected a plan that beats your utility’s price to compare, your new supplier will handle the switch for you. Monitor your contract end date and market trends to switch again when it’s advantageous.
