Understanding deregulation in Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania is one of the many U.S. states where residents can choose where they buy their energy because of deregulation. Although you can still buy energy directly from a utility like PPL, you can also choose to buy electricity or gas from other energy providers. Giving consumers the freedom to buy energy from a number of energy suppliers keeps competition strong, which helps lower Pennsylvania electricity rates.
As of October 2022, 25% of Pennsylvania customers had switched electric generation suppliers. So, how do you go about the process?
At Choose Energy, we make it easy for you to research ways to reduce your energy bill or switch energy providers. You can compare electric suppliers or look at options in any major Pennsylvania city. Here are a few helpful resources:

Difference between a utility company and energy provider
In deregulated states, many consumers get confused about the difference between utility companies and energy providers. Understanding what each is and how they work together can help you feel a little more confident about your choice of energy supplier.
In short, suppliers buy electricity or natural gas and sell it to consumers. Utility companies in Pennsylvania manage the electric and natural gas infrastructure and deliver energy to consumers. So when your power goes out, your utility is the company you call, regardless of who your supplier is.
