Public Utilities
Pennsylvania
is one of the first states in the country to provide residents
with the opportunity to choose their electric generation
supplier. Until recently, all aspects of electric service
(generation, transmission, and distribution) were handled by
one company. With Electric Choice, you can consider the
following:
-
Whether the supplier offers
different combinations of service and price.
-
Where the energy is produced
and whether the supplier contributes to the local economy.
-
Whether the supplier uses
renewable energy sources.
-
Whether the supplier offers a
budget billing plan.
For more information, see www.electrichoice.com on the
internet.
