Three Easy Steps

Switching is Easy.

  1. Enter ZIP Code to compare rates in your area.
  2. Compare providers and plans based on your specific needs.
  3. Switch electricity providers and start saving.

After you switch, your new provider will take care of the rest. The switch will come into effect within one to two billing cycles. PPL still bills you and delivers your electricity. Your electricity provider and plan are the only things that change.

Reading Energy Choice

In 1996, Pennsylvania deregulated the electricity market and Reading residents gained Energy Choice. Consumers could now choose their electricity provider, forcing electricity providers to compete on factors like electricity pricing and customer service.

The official energy shopping website of PA is called PA Power Switch. There you’ll find a potentially overwhelming number of offers from electricity providers with various levels of credibility. This makes it difficult to compare electricity rates and be confident you’ve made the best choice.

As an alternative to PA Power Switch, ElectricityRates.com brings you only great rates from the best providers. All providers and plans in our Marketplace are carefully selected so that you can rest assured you’ve made the best decision.

Reading’s Commitment to Renewable Energy

In 2019, the Reading City Council voted to adopt a resolution establishing the goal of powering the city with 100% renewable energy by 2050. Reading is the 19th city in Pennsylvania and 130th nationally who has committed to going all-in on green power.

If you’re a Reading, PA resident with Energy Choice, you can sign up for a 100% renewable electricity plan today. Look for the 100% renewable sources label in the ElectricityRates.com Marketplace.
