West Penn Power Electricity Rates

As a West Penn Power customer, you have the ability to reduce your electricity costs by taking advantage of Pennsylvania’s deregulated energy market. This allows you to choose your electricity supplier, offering you the opportunity to find competitive rates, flexible plans, and renewable energy options, while West Penn Power continues to deliver your electricity reliably.

West Penn Power’s Price to Compare (PTC)

West Penn Power’s Price to Compare (PTC) is the rate applied to customers who do not choose an alternative supplier. This rate acts as a benchmark when shopping for competitive rates. If you find a plan with a lower rate than the PTC, you could reduce your electricity costs significantly.

Energy Dregulation in a Nutshell

Deregulation in Pennsylvania means that consumers like you can choose the company that supplies your electricity. West Penn Power, a subsidiary of FirstEnergy Corp., handles the delivery of power through its infrastructure, but the generation of that power can come from different suppliers. This competitive environment can lead to more attractive electricity rates and better plan options for you.

West Penn Power's Role: Electricity Delivery

West Penn Power maintains power lines, responds to outages, and ensures the reliable delivery of electricity to homes and businesses. 

But, they are not the only option for the actual electricity supply. You can choose from multiple suppliers who compete to offer better rates and plans. If you don’t select a supplier, West Penn Power will automatically place you on their Price to Compare (PTC), which serves as the default electricity rate.

Competitive Suppliers and Rates

Energy suppliers in Pennsylvania purchase electricity on the wholesale market and offer it to consumers at competitive rates. 

By shopping around, you can find a rate lower than West Penn Power’s PTC, potentially lowering your monthly energy bill. Our average customer in Pensylvania saves about 20% on their bills. 

Since supplier rates can vary based on market conditions, it’s wise to regularly compare them to the PTC to maximize savings.
