Beginning 2000, utility customers in Pennsylvania have been able to choose their own electric supplier. Before that time, customers had to use the utility assigned to their area.
Deregulating the energy industry has increased competition among energy suppliers, giving Pennsylvanians many options, including lower rates and the ability to sign up for electricity without paying a deposit.
Before making the decision to switch service from a utility or a different supplier, there is much to learn to make sure you choose the best energy plan for you, while perhaps saving on your bill in the process.
The price to compare is the rate per kilowatt-hour (kWh) you’re charged for your electricity supply. Knowing this figure makes it easier to shop for an electric supplier.

Note: Regardless of the company you select to supply your electricity, PECO will continue to deliver it to your home via its lines and other infrastructure, and it will add a charge to your bill for that service.
Utility companies deliver electricity to your home. These companies also maintain the electrical equipment and power lines. Suppliers provide the electricity to the utility companies. A utility may work with several suppliers in delivering energy to its customers, and it also in many cases generates its own electricity.
As a utility, PECO delivers electricity to your home from the supplier you choose. If you don’t choose a supplier, PECO becomes your electricity supplier.
There are a number of electricity suppliers in the PECO service area. Among them are Constellation Energy, Direct Energy, and Frontier Utilities Northeast. Rates per kWh vary by supplier and by plan, so be sure to research your options and investigate their price to compare rates before making a choice.
