\"Save
If your PA utility hiked your rate on Dec.1, don’t scream! Shop! We’ve got the best plans to help you save money on your electric rates this winter!<\/em><\/center><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

It’s going to be a rough winter for PA electricity customers! The\u00a0NOAA winter forecast<\/a>\u00a0is calling for a cold, wet winter for PA, which means higher electricity usage. Meanwhile, all of the major utilities have raised their PTC rates this December. But while it looks a perfect storm for high electricity bills, you don’t have to settle for the high rates. You can shop a cheap electric rate<\/a> now and save, just in time for the holiday season! So check out these plans and grab the best electricity rate<\/a> for you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Basically, there’s a plan for you, no matter your service area! But keep in mind as you shop that the\u00a0EIA<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0predicts that natural gas use this year will be at an all time high, likely raising prices. Additionally, these new\u00a0PTC rates expire on May 31, 2026. As a result, the PTC rates that follow will include the higher prices from this past summer\u2019s\u00a0PJM capacity auction<\/a>. So, while some plans may have rates that are a little higher than the PTC rate, they will likely be much cheaper than those coming in June, 2026. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In conclusion, 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. Even the PA PUC<\/a><\/strong> is recommending you snag a low rate now!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beat Winter Electric Rates<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Choosing a reputable\u00a0electric supplier<\/a>\u00a0and locking in a fixed rate can save you money for months to come! So let\u2019s look at our best rates, starting with the provider with lowest kWh rate available. For the most part, our plans from\u00a0Public Power<\/a><\/strong> all beat the PTC rates for the areas they service. Additionally, 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

At this time, Xoom Energy<\/a><\/strong> is the provider who\u2019s offering the cheapest option.\u00a0<\/strong>So, 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

Finally, there\u2019s our provider of choice in\u00a0PPL<\/strong>. In that tough market,\u00a0Verde Energy<\/a><\/strong> stands out, not just for the low rate, but for offering a clean energy plan. So not only can you save money, but you can support 100% renewable energy while doing it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
