If you didn&#8217;t lock in a low priced plan with a retail provider, here&#8217;s how much more your monthly electricity bill could be!<\/em><\/center><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>PTC rates are going up this June. And if you don\u2019t shop for a better rate, your electricity bill is going to follow. With summer temperatures climbing, high <a href=\"https:\/\/www.paenergyratings.com\/electricity-rates\">electricity rates<\/a> can cost you a fortune. Here&#8217;s how these rate changes are going to affect you, and what you can do to save money this summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>PTC Rates Climbing this June<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the EIA monthly usage data for PA, the average monthly residential electricity usage runs about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eia.gov\/electricity\/sales_revenue_price\/pdf\/table5_a.pdf?fbclid=IwAR3a8WZv7Cr8pBxcmHnumeSzdIxuWnikDVhIGf0UXCk2PAnrKeomsBhzHjU\">851 kWh<\/a> per month. So to show how these PTC rates affect an average monthly electric supply part of the  bill, we&#8217;ll use that amount. But, since these rates will be effective from June 1, 2023 to August 31, 2023, actual usage will be much higher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.paenergyratings.com\/companies\/peco\">PECO<\/a> <\/strong>residential PTC rates <strong><em>will rise<\/em><\/strong> from 9.72 cents per kWh to 10.31 cents per kWh. That\u2019s a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.energychoicematters.com\/stories\/20230512a.html\">6% increase<\/a>.

This prevents illness, injury, and deaths from exposure to the cold. However, Pennsylvania is the <em>only<\/em> state in the Mid-Atlantic region without summertime cooling assistance. Without this same protection during the summer months, failure to pay your electricity could result in your power being shut off. This leaves <a href=\"https:\/\/lancasteronline.com\/opinion\/editorials\/pa-lawmakers-ought-to-pass-legislation-to-help-people-keep-their-electricity-on-when-summer\/article_9d857a7a-ff35-11ed-8cd7-474c1b9dd968.html\">vulnerable people suffering <\/a>in dangerously high temperatures. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A a result of rising summertime electric cost, lawmakers have proposed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.legis.state.pa.us\/CFDOCS\/Legis\/PN\/Public\/btCheck.cfm?txtType=PDF&amp;sessYr=2023&amp;sessInd=0&amp;billBody=H&amp;billTyp=B&amp;billNbr=1077&amp;pn=1104\">House Bill 1077<\/a> to help PA resident struggling to meet rising electricity rates. The bill also includes  consumer protections, such as eliminating utility deposits for customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Shop and Save to Avoid Higher PTC Rates &nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to avoid hight PTC rates, it&#8217;s time to shop for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.paenergyratings.com\/resources\/how-to-switch-pennsylvania-electricity-providers\">switch electricity providers<\/a> offering best electricity plan for you.
