When it comes to comparing electric suppliers in PA, you've got plenty of options. In fact, as of today, there are over 100 electric suppliers registered with the PA PUC (Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission). Talk about having options!
Luckily, for you, EnergyPricing.com's easy-to-use interface makes comparing PA electric suppliers as easy as one, two, three.

Factors to Consider When Shopping PA Electric Suppliers
If you're feeling lost and confused while trying to compare PA electric suppliers, you're not alone. With an abundance of options to choose from, it can be a daunting task to figure out where to start.
Fortunately, EnergyPricing.com has the expertise and resources to help you make an informed decision. While finding the lowest electric rates in PA may seem like the obvious choice, it's important to consider all the factors below as well:
- Price - When it comes to choosing an electric supplier, price is definitely a top consideration. But don't be fooled by a promotional energy plan that may seem like a great deal at first glance. That's why it's important when you are making a true PA electric rate comparison that you consider not only the initial price but also any potential hidden fees or rate changes down the line.
- Read Customer Reviews - To understand a company’s customer service, check out their reviews on Google. What are other customers saying about the service they’re getting? Look for red flags like poor communication, unresponsive customer service, and billing issues.
- Company Size - It’s also worth checking how many customers a company has. This could be an indication of their size and stability. A more significant customer base can mean more resources and better infrastructure to handle customer demands.
- How long have they been in Business? - Researching the history of a company can help you form an opinion on how reliable and trustworthy they are. You can find this information on their website or by reading reviews online. A company with a long history of providing reliable service is a good sign that they’re here to stay.
- Lastly, read the Contract - Don’t just quickly sign the electricity contract and hope for the best. Read the entire agreement carefully before committing yourself to any provider.

Types of Electricity Plans in Pennsylvania
In the diverse world of Pennsylvania electric rates, you'll find various plans tailored to suit your risk tolerance. From fixed-rate plans that provide stability and predictable pricing to variable-rate plans that offer flexibility with potential savings during certain months. Below are some of the most common electricity plans offered in Pennsylvania.
Fixed-Rates Plans
Fixed-rate plans offer one set rate per kilowatt-hour for the entire contract period, providing stability and predictability for your energy costs. A fixed-rate plan is ideal for most residential and commercial customers as it eliminates surprises on your monthly bill and allows you to budget accordingly.
However, keep in mind that fixed-rate plans often switch to variable-rate plans at the end of the contract term, so be prepared for potential rate changes in the future.
Variable-Rate Plans
Variable-rate energy plans offer a fluctuating rate per kilowatt-hour based on market conditions, such as weather and volatility. While this type of plan typically offers flexibility in allowing you to switch plans without any additional fees, it also comes with the risk of extreme weather events causing a sudden spike in your energy rate.
100% Green Energy Plans
If you're someone who cares about the environment and doesn't mind paying a little more for renewable electricity, then a 100% Green Energy Plan could be the perfect choice for you. However, it's important to note the electricity flowing through your power lines won’t typically come from renewable energy sources.
Instead, with these renewable energy plans, most energy providers simply offset your energy usage by purchasing Renewable Energy Credits (RECs). These RECs reflect the generation of renewable energy from sources like solar or wind, and they're a great way to ensure that renewable energy projects offset your energy consumption.
Promotional Energy Plans
Most electricity consumers are always looking for ways to save money on their energy bills, which is why promotional energy plans have become a popular choice. These plans come in many different forms, from unlimited electricity to lower-rate plans with built-in monthly fees.
However, customers should approach these plans with caution. While they may look appealing, it’s essential to analyze your average kWh Usage to determine if the plan will actually save you money. Unfortunately, many of these promotional energy plans end up being more expensive than traditional fixed-rate plans.
Pennsylvania Electricity Utility Companies
Thanks to Pennsylvania's competitive energy market, residential and commercial customers can now choose their own electricity suppliers. When you do switch, rest assured that your reliability will not be compromised. Your local utility company is still responsible for maintaining power lines and delivering electricity to your home or business. Remember if there are any power outages, contact your local utility company, not the supplier.
PECO is Pennsylvania's largest electric utility, delivering power to nearly 1.7 million electric customers in the Philadelphia, PA, region.

Tips for Lowering Your Electric Bill in Pennsylvania
If you're looking to shave off some dollars from your electric bill in Pennsylvania, there are several strategies you can employ. From implementing energy efficiency measures to shopping around for better rates, every little effort counts in reducing your monthly expenses. Below are all the tips that can help you save both energy and money on your electric bill.
Shop for Better Rates
One of the easiest ways to lower your electricity bill is to shop around for better rates. One option is PA Power Switch, the Pennsylvania PUC's shopping website. However, please note that any licensed supplier can post offers there, regardless of reputation, customer service complaints, PUC violations, or BBB rating.
That’s where EnergyPricing.com comes in. We pre-screen all our suppliers and energy plans to show you the best options. Unlike the state website, we're here to answer your questions and remind you when it is time to renew. And for business owners who need a customized rate, our online platform connects you directly to suppliers so you can sit back and watch the bids come in.
Energy Efficiency Measures
Another way to lower your electricity bill is to invest in energy-efficient measures. Opt for LED light bulbs, Energy Star-certified refrigerators, washing machines, and dishwashers, as well as programmable thermostats. These choices will not only save you money but also contribute to a greener and more sustainable future.
