Types of rates offered by Public Power
Public Power specializes in fixed-rate electricity plans. This type of plan offers a set electricity rate for the duration of your contract. Many consumers prefer this option because of the predictable energy bills due to a stable rate.
Moving or transferring service with Public Power
If you’re moving or switching plans to one offered by Public Power, simply let your previous provider know in advance. You won’t be charged a cancellation fee if you’re moving outside your current provider’s service area. However, if you are not moving but choose to cancel your plan early, you may have to pay a fine. Choose Energy’s marketplace can help you find the best electricity plans wherever you move. Simply enter your ZIP code to find today’s competitive options.
Cancellation fees
Public Power charges an early termination fee (ETF) of $50 for residential customers in Pennsylvania, but fees may vary in other states. Not all plans and providers require an early termination fee. Enter your ZIP code on this page to find out if the plans in your area charge an ETF.

Public Power plans
Public Power offers several types of electricity plans. The following are a few you can consider:
Electric 12 Month Fixed Rate
With this plan, you will pay the same energy rate for the duration of a 12-month contract. An extra perk of this plan is that you won’t be charged an ETF if you cancel the contract early unless you live in Pennsylvania. Enter your ZIP code to find out if your area qualifies.
Electric 24 Month Fixed Rate
The Electric 24 Month Fixed Rate plan is great for long-term stability because you’ll pay the same rate each month for two years. Your bill will vary only from usage and changes in utility fees and taxes. Like the 12-month plan, you may not need to pay an ETF if you cancel your contract before it expires unless you live in Pennsylvania.

Tips for the best electricity plans
Finding the best electricity plan starts with knowing your options and having a good idea of what your individual needs are. Choose Energy can help you pick the right plan by showing you the top provider results for your area in one place, allowing you to compare plans and sign up in just a few minutes.
A few things to remember
Read the plan details. When signing up for a plan, make sure to read your plan’s Terms of Service (TOS) document, which includes important information such as:
- Your energy rate, specified in kWh
- Renewable energy incentives
- Any early termination fees that might apply
Enjoy a hassle-free supplier setup. Once you’ve selected and purchased a plan, your new supplier will set up service – but don’t worry, there shouldn’t be any interruption to your power during the switch.
Understand your electricity bill. Your local utility will still deliver your electricity and maintain electric infrastructure like meters and power lines. Utility fees are listed as transmission and/or delivery charges on your monthly bill. They are independent of your supplier rate.

Frequently asked questions about Public Power
How can I compare plans and rates from Public Power?
The best way to compare energy plans and rates is by using the Choose Energy marketplace. By entering your ZIP code, you can explore available plans in your area from trusted providers all in one place.
Does Public Power require a deposit?
Most energy providers run a credit check and may require a deposit if your score doesn’t meet their threshold. You may be able to skip the deposit if you have a high credit score and a history of making on-time payments. An energy deposit typically equals two months’ worth of estimated energy costs.
Will Public Power charge me a cancellation fee?
Many of Public Power’s fixed-rate energy plans include an extra perk of not having to pay an ETF if you cancel before your contract is up, unless you are a Pennsylvania resident. If you have a variable-rate plan, you won’t need to pay an ETF, regardless of the plan. Check your TOS to verify whether or not your plan includes an ETF.
