So to help clear up that, we\u2019re posting our PA Summer Utility PTC Rate Review.

Of course, not everyone uses the same amount of electricity. But to show how these changes could affect an average customer&#8217;s monthly bill we&#8217;ll look at the EIA monthly use data. According to that information, the average monthly residential electricity usage in PA runs about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eia.gov\/electricity\/sales_revenue_price\/pdf\/table5_a.pdf?fbclid=IwAR3a8WZv7Cr8pBxcmHnumeSzdIxuWnikDVhIGf0UXCk2PAnrKeomsBhzHjU\">851 kWh <\/a>per month. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.paenergyratings.com\/companies\/peco\">PECO <\/a><\/strong>residential PTC rates will rise from 9.72 cents per kWh to 10.31 cents per kWh.
