The Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission (PUC) reminded consumers that most electric distribution companies (EDCs) across the state will be adjusting electric generation prices on June 1 for non-shopping, or default service, customers.
With energy prices set to increase or decrease depending on service territory, the PUC encourages consumers to stay informed about these changes and evaluate their energy options, even if they already have a contract with a competitive electric generation supplier.
“Empower yourself this summer by staying informed and making smart energy choices,” noted PUC Chairman Stephen DeFrank. “With the upcoming price changes and higher electricity usage typical during the hot summer months, now is the perfect time to review your electric bills and supplier contracts, understand your rates, and explore all available options to save on energy costs.”
Consumers are encouraged to learn more about managing energy costs by visiting the Commission’s official electric shopping website, PAPowerSwitch. com, for competitive offers and energy-saving tips.
Consumers are advised not to sign a contract without knowing the length, price, whether it is fixed or variable, and if there are any fees. Information on fixed and variable electric rates is available on the PAPowerSwitch site.
All Pa. regulated electric utilities are adjusting their Prices to Compare on June 1 for residential and small business non-shopping customers. The PUC continues encouraging consumers who have contracts with competitive energy suppliers to know their contract expiration dates and to carefully review contract renewal notices.
