Electricity Deregulation in Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania is one of many states with deregulated energy. This drives competition between retail electric providers (REPs). As a home or business owner, you have the right to shop around for the best PA electric supplier rates. You can also choose the type of contract you sign with your energy providers in Pennsylvania. You can opt for a fixed or variable rate and choose the length of the agreement.
Pennsylvania passed the Electric Choice and Competition Act in 1997. However, competition for supply became most prevalent though in 2010 across the state due to relief of rate caps. Consumers could finally shop for a new retail energy provider that was not the utility company.
You may be overpaying for your energy if you have never switched.
Utilities in Pennsylvania
In Pennsylvania, you still have an electric utility that handles all your maintenance needs. Most importantly, if your power goes out, there is an emergency, or a down power line, you will need to contact your utility for help. Your Retail Energy Provider cannot assist you with these types of situations.
There are cooperatives in the state that are unfortunately ineligible for third party supply. If you live in one you will be subject to their supply costs.

Capacity
Transmission
Transmission rates are called Network Integration Transmission Service or NITS in PJM. NITS rates are demand-based charges based on your network service peak load value and are calculated using this formula: (NSPL x Transmission Rate $/MW-day x # of Days in term)/Forecast Term Volume.
Most supplier options have clauses that adjust for changes in their network service peak load value and current transmission rates set by the PJM. If your companies peak load were to change, your agreement may account for pass-throughs either up or down to adjust for those changes. There are solutions that lock in your capacity and transmission costs regardless of your peak load adjusting throughout the contract. To best understand what is included and not included in your new energy agreement, have one of our Energy Advisors review the options alongside you.
