All Pennsylvania regulated electric companies are adjusting their rates starting Dec. 1, with most increasing their rates.
With winter around the corner, temperatures are dropping in Pennsylvania but electric bills could be rising, as most electric companies in the state will be increasing their rates slightly.
According to the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission (PUC), residents in the state should expect to see changes to their electric bills starting Dec. 1.
All Pennsylvania regulated electric companies are adjusting their Prices to Compare (PTC) for residential non-shopping customers, the PUC said. The PTC is the price per kilowatt hour (kWh) the electric company charges its customers.
The PTC averages 40% to 60% of the total utility bill. Below is a list of the rate changes:
- Citizens’ Electric: from 8.089 to 8.696 cents per kWh (up 7.5%)
- Duquesne Light: from 11.85 to 10.85 cents per kWh (down 8.4%)
- Met-Ed: from 10.404 to 11.011 cents per kWh (up 5.8%)
