Save on your Philadelphia electricity! Check out rates that beat the price to compare!<\/em><\/center><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Beat the PECO Price to Compare Rate<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.paenergyratings.com\/electricity-rates\">Electricity rates<\/a> are not static. Rates fluctuate throughout the region\u00a0and the country as well. In November 2019, electricity rates for Philadelphia residents averaged 15.2 cents per kWh. That&#8217;s 14.3% higher than the national average of 13.3 cents per kWh, according to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bls.gov\/regions\/mid-atlantic\/news-release\/averageenergyprices_philadelphia.htm\">U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics<\/a>.\u00a0But, it&#8217;s not only where you live that determines your electricity costs. It&#8217;s also\u00a0the provider you choose.<\/p>\n<p>For Philadelphia residents, the PECO price to compare (PTC) rate\u00a0is currently set at 6.737 cents per kWh until February 29, 2020. You may be thinking to yourself, &#8220;Hmm&#8230;that&#8217;s a good rate.&#8221; But don&#8217;t be hasty! There are other electricity options available in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.paenergyratings.com\/electricity-rates\/peco\">PECO service area<\/a> that are even better.<\/p>\n<h3>12-Month Fixed Rates Better Than PECO<\/h3>\n<p>Although you can pick and choose the term length you want, a 12-month electricity plan is a good option. The plan term\u00a0is long enough to enjoy the price per kWh and plan offerings but short enough to let you switch plans if you see a better price down the road. Two 12-month fixed rate electricity plans are currently offered that are\u00a0less expensive\u00a0than the PECO PTC.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.paenergyratings.com\/plans\/tomorrow-energy\/details\/12-month-fixed\">Tomorrow Energy 12 Month Fixed<\/a><\/strong> plan is just 5.79 cents per kWh with no monthly recurring charges. The electricity provider charges $75 for early termination, so it&#8217;s important\u00a0that you\u00a0know about this potential fee. But, with a rate so low this probably won&#8217;t be an issue. In addition to the\u00a0low price per kWh, <strong>Tomorrow Energy<\/strong>\u00a0offers <a href=\"https:\/\/www.paenergyratings.com\/resources\/pennsylvania-green-energy-requirements\">renewable energy<\/a> so you have an environmentally-friendly electricity option to consider.<\/p>\n<p>The other 12-month fixed rate plan that rivals the PECO PTC is the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.paenergyratings.com\/plans\/starion-energy\/details\/starion-secure-12\">Starion Energy Starion Secure 12<\/a><\/strong> plan. This plan is\u00a0priced at\u00a06.69 cents per kWh and also has no monthly recurring charges. If you have to cancel your electricity plan early for an upcoming move,\u00a0don&#8217;t worry about an early termination fee because there isn&#8217;t one. Plus, as a <strong>Starion Energy<\/strong> customer you&#8217;ll gain access to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.starionenergy.com\/starion-rewards\/what-is-starion\/\">Starion Rewards<\/a> program. The program\u00a0makes it possible for customers\u00a0to save up to $1,200 a year on shopping, dining, and travel opportunities!<\/p>\n<h3>Choose Fixed Electric Rates Other Than PECO<\/h3>\n<p>Even though you live in PECO territory, you don&#8217;t have to settle for a PECO plan. Out of the two previously mentioned plans, the <strong>Tomorrow Energy 12 Month Fixed<\/strong> plan is probably the best bet. This plan has a low rate, under 6 cents per kWh, and no monthly fees. Plus, you can do your part for the environment by selecting an electricity plan that uses renewable energy.<\/p>\n<p>Before you choose a plan, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.paenergyratings.com\/read-reviews\">do your research<\/a>\u00a0and learn about providers and their plans.
