⚡ Philadelphia Electricity Rates — Are You Overpaying?

Philadelphia residents and businesses served by PECO Energy have the power to choose their own electricity supplier in Pennsylvania's deregulated energy market. Pennsylvania consumers pay an average of 14–18¢/kWh — but competitive suppliers frequently offer rates well below the default. Shopping for a competitive rate could save you hundreds of dollars each year.

How to Lower Your Electric Bill in Philadelphia, PA

  • Compare certified suppliers — Don't pay the default utility rate. Licensed suppliers often offer fixed or variable rates that beat the standard offer.
  • Lock in a fixed rate — Protect yourself from seasonal price spikes and grid volatility common in Pennsylvania.
  • Go green — Many PA suppliers offer 100% renewable plans at competitive prices.
  • Commercial & industrial — If you're a business in Philadelphia, deregulation means you can negotiate directly for bulk rates.

Electricity Deregulation in Pennsylvania

Pennsylvania opened its electricity market to competition, meaning PECO Energy still delivers your power but you can choose who generates and supplies it. This separation gives Philadelphia consumers real choice and competitive pricing that regulated states don't have.
