Shop now to lock in the cheapest price per kWh for your home!<\/em><\/center><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Fall is in the air! But summer Price to Compare (PTC) rates are lingering for just a bit longer. Prices skyrocketed this summer, and relief might be far off. However, you don\u2019t have to wait for lower PTC rates to save money on electricity. Even though PTC rates are locked in, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.paenergyratings.com\/companies\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">electricity suppliers<\/a> adjust their prices to reflect the current market. This makes fall is the perfect time to shop for an electricity plan, since prices tend to drop during the milder months. We&#8217;re going to give you all the information you need to shop the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.paenergyratings.com\/electricity-rates\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">cheapest electric rates<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Compare PA Summer Utility Rates <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There&#8217;s plenty of options open for you, no matter what utility services your area. Now, you might be wondering why we&#8217;ve recommended some of these plans, since they are higher than the current PTC rate. However, these rates will expire on December 1, 2025 and the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eia.gov\/todayinenergy\/detail.php?id=65984\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">EIA<\/a><\/strong> predicts that natural gas useage this year will be at an all time high, likely raising prices. So, combine that with the most recent <strong>PJM<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.paenergyratings.com\/blog\/what-the-new-pjm-capacity-auction-prices-mean-for-pa-rates\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">auction results<\/a>, and we can safely say that electricity prices will probably rise next year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But shopping for a fixed-rate plan now means you\u2019ll lock in the current low rates, and rising PTC rates won\u2019t affect your bills.  However, these rates won&#8217;t stay this low forever!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>These Summer Plans Beat the Price to Compare<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For each utility, we&#8217;ve selected the three lowest price <a href=\"https:\/\/www.paenergyratings.com\/best\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">electric supplier<\/a> plans in each utility service area.
