In Pennsylvania, Residents Can Shop for Their Electricity Provider

Tis the season for shopping. Did you know there is a way to shop this month that won’t cost you a cent and can actually save you money?

In Pennsylvania, residents can shop for their electricity provider – the company that sells you the electricity you use. Your current electric utility will still deliver electricity to you, send your bills and respond to any power outages that may occur. But shopping for an alternative electric supplier can save you money if you shop wisely and pay careful attention to contract terms.
