Switch Electricity Supplier in Pennsylvania

Pennsylvania residents can shop electric supply separate from delivery. Your delivery utility (PECO, PPL, Duquesne Light, etc.) bills you a regulated 'Price to Compare' for default supply. Switching to a competitive supplier can beat that price — but only if you read the fine print on cancellation fees and rate types.

Average savings: $100–$300/year

How to switch in Pennsylvania

1
Find your delivery utility's current Price to Compare (PTC) on your bill or their website.
2
Visit PA Power Switch and filter for fixed-rate plans with no cancellation fee.
3
Pick a plan that beats your PTC by at least 0.5¢/kWh after fees.
4
Sign up. Your new supplier coordinates the switch with your delivery utility — no service interruption.
5
Set a calendar reminder for 30 days before contract end to re-shop or cancel.

Red flags to avoid

•Variable rates after a teaser period — these often roll to 12–15¢/kWh.
•Cancellation fees of $100–$200 — lock you in even when better deals appear.
•'Green energy' upcharges of 1–2¢/kWh that exceed actual REC costs.

Your delivery utility

When you switch suppliers, your delivery utility doesn't change — they still maintain the wires and respond to outages. Only the energy charge on your bill changes.
