And it looks like <strong>DLC<\/strong> is hopping on the broom with them. Starting December 1, 2025, the\u00a0<strong>DLC <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.duquesnelight.com\/service-reliability\/service-map\/rates\/residential-rates#price-to-compare\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Price to Compare rates<\/a>\u00a0are going up! And with the recent\u00a0<strong>PJM<\/strong>\u00a0<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>, these higher rates could haunt us well into the summer.\u00a0However there&#8217;s still time to trick-or-treat for\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.paenergyratings.com\/deals\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">cheap electricity<\/a>. And these long term plans in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.paenergyratings.com\/electricity-rates\/pennsylvania\/pittsburgh\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Pittsburgh<\/a> are all treat and no trick! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Cheap Electric Plans &#8211; All Treat, No Trick<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The new <strong><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.paenergyratings.com\/companies\/duquesne\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">DLC<\/a><\/strong><\/strong> PTC rate hasn&#8217;t been finalized yet, but it&#8217;s predicted to be 13.75 cents per kWh. So, assuming the average PA home uses\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.eia.gov\/electricity\/sales_revenue_price\/pdf\/table_5A.pdf?fbclid=IwAR0DX7Zar389C6UvfaV8lIVt2ME74Uk02yZa9sqVxHr8ADZVRdFYRoD6A5s\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">854 kWh<\/a>\u00a0a month, the\u00a0<strong>DLC <\/strong>PTC supply charge will cost around $117.43 per month.\u00a0That&#8217;s scary! But you can exorcise high PTC rates with a 12 month fixed rate plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First up, we have the\u00a0cheapest 12 month rate available with no monthly charges. The <strong>Clear Guarentee 12<\/strong>\u00a0plan from\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.paenergyratings.com\/companies\/public-power\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Clearview Energy<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0comes in at a low of 13 cents per kWh. So, you&#8217;re monthly energy supply bill would be around $111.02 a month. Plus, no monthly charges to spook you. Just be aware of the $150 early cancellation fee. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However if you&#8217;re hunting for a green energy plan, we have just the treat for you. The\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.paenergyratings.com\/plans\/verde-energy\/details\/clean-power-12\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Verde Energy<\/a>\u00a0Clean Power 12\u00a0<\/strong>plan is 13.8 cents per kWh. That means your monthly supply charge will run about $117.85. It&#8217;s slightly higher than our predicted PTC rate, but the real rate could be higher. This plan is supported 100% by renewable energy through RECs. And, as a bonus, there are no ghastly monthly charges or early termination fees. So this plan is really <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pennlive.com\/life\/2024\/10\/a-werewolf-in-pa-how-a-stranger-watching-a-lovely-sheepherder-spurred-a-legend.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">something to howl about<\/a> because you get plenty of flexibility &#8212; in case of sudden life changes!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, we have a plan from <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.paenergyratings.com\/companies\/frontier-utilities\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Frontier Utilities<\/a><\/strong> with a tricky twist. Their <strong>PA Frontier Secure Power 12<\/strong> plan comes in at 12.5 cents per kWh. However, there is a $9.95 monthly fee, bringing your estimated monthly energy supply bill to $116.70. That&#8217;s still cheaper than the estimated PTC rate. Additionally, there&#8217;s no early termination fees to come back and bite you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Electricity Plans to Scare Away High Bills<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s important to remember that the new\u00a0<strong>DLC <\/strong>PTC rates expire on May 31, 2026. This will be right before the PJM auction prices kick in. So, even if a plan is a little higher right now than the PTC rate this December, it will likely be much cheaper than those coming in June, 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you really want to save on your home energy bill, you need to find a better rate. A\u00a0low electricity rate\u00a0with a reputable provider can save you hundreds of dollars a year. You could buy the full sized candy bars with that!
