PPL Energy Choice
By default, PPL customers receive both their electricity distribution and supply from the utility. In 1997, Pennsylvania residents were introduced to Energy Choice as a result of the Electricity Generation Choice and Competition Act. Since then, energy customers have had the ability to compare electricity providers and go with the best one for them.
The Pennsylvania PUC operates PA Power Switch, the official electricity shopping site for the state. On PAPowerSwitch.com, you’ll find a vast and potentially scary amount of providers to choose from with varying levels of customer satisfaction and reliability.
ElectricityRates.com eliminates the fear of choosing the wrong provider. When you switch through ElectricityRates.com, you can rest assured that you are choosing between leading providers offering great rates.
Reading Your PPL Electricity Bill

Delivery charges ensure the reliable transmission and delivery of electricity and are set by the Pennsylvania PUC. Supply charges are what you pay your electricity provider for the electricity you use.
When you switch electricity providers, you take control of your electricity supply charges including your electricity supply rate, contract length and applicable terms.
