In Pennsylvania, businesses and public sector customers continue to be engaged in a lively conversation about the wide array of opportunities available for managing energy costs within a competitive energy retail market as PECO, Met-Ed, Penelec, and Allegheny Power rate caps expire at the end of the year. Recently I attended two fantastic events, the Delaware Valley Association of Physical Plant Administrators (DVAPPA) Spring Meeting on June 16 and a PECO LC&I Meet and Greet on June 17.
At the DVAPPA meeting, I was asked to serve on a panel of experts to discuss what the industry has learned from rate cap expiration thus far. At that time I presented “Fact vs. Fiction: Competitive Energy Retail Markets,” which explained some of the uncertainties that customers may face when choosing a new energy supplier. If you have any questions about choosing a new energy supplier, I recommend that you review the facts and fiction about making the switch that I addressed in a previous blog post.
The second event I mentioned was well attended by multiple suppliers and hundreds of electric customers. During a series of informative presentations, customers learned that they are part of the competitive equation when they shop and compare electricity rates. One of our customers said it best when he reassured others “You can do this,” while describing the benefits of choosing a new supplier.

Are there companies competing on residential electric rates in th PECO market area?
Thanks
Robert, that’s a great question. Energy supply companies are providing competitive pricing in the residential market as well. For more information about this, I recommend that you visit http://www.papowerswitch.com/.
