Shop the cheapest electricity rates now and see how much you can save over Price to Compare rates when your PA utility hikes prices on December 1!<\/em><\/center><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Pennsylvania electricity customers could be in for a tough winter. PPL<\/strong> has announced<\/a> that they will hike their Price to Compare rate this winter. So, that means all the major utilities in Pennsylvania are raising their rates effective on December 1, 2025. Additionally, the NOAA winter forecast<\/a> calls for a cold, wet winter for PA. Not only could this drive up electricity demand but prices as well.

However, you don’t have to fall victim to rising PTC rates! Shopping for a fixed-rate electricity plan can save you money for the months ahead, and free you from worrying about your electricity bill<\/a>. So check out these plans and find the cheapest electricity rate<\/a> for you! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Compare PA Winter Utility Rates<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s plenty of options open for you, no matter what utility services your area. You might be wondering why we’ve recommended some of these plans, since they’re higher than the new PTC rate. Well, keep in mind that the EIA<\/a><\/strong> predicts that natural gas use this year will be at an all time high, likely raising prices. So, combine that with the most recent PJM<\/strong> auction results<\/a>, and we can safely say that electricity prices will probably continue to rise next year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, shopping for a fixed-rate plan now means you\u2019ll lock in the current low rates now!<\/em> And rising PTC rates won\u2019t affect your bills. But these rates won’t stay low for long!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beat Winter Price to Compare Rates<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It’s easy to see how using an electric supplier<\/a>\u00a0can save you money! So let’s highlight our best rates starting with the provider who’s the cheapest option,\u00a0Xoom Energy<\/a>.\u00a0<\/strong>With no extra monthly charges, the price per kWh stays fixed. Moreover, through their\u00a0XoomXtras<\/em>\u00a0rewards program, you can earn points to spend on anything from gift cards to vacation stays.\u00a0However, their plans do have an early termination fee of $55 to bear in mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next provider to highlight has the lowest kWh rate available. Our plans from Public Power<\/a><\/strong> all beat the PTC rates for the areas they service. All of them have a $14.95 monthly charge and a $50 early termination fee. But they also come with a 12 month contract, locking in that low electricity rate for a full year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, there’s our provider of choice for Penelec<\/strong>. In an area without a lot of options to save, Constellation<\/a><\/strong> stands out for being a gold rated provider. And with the unique term length, this plan allows you to shop in the fall shoulder months next year, potentially saving you more money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
