What is PA Power Switch?

PA Power Switch is Pennsylvania's official electricity rate comparison tool provided by the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission (PA PUC). It helps residents compare offers from certified electricity suppliers and choose competitive rates.

Is ElectricRates.org the same as PA Power Switch?

No, we are not the official Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission (PA PUC) tool. We are an independent rate comparison service that provides instant comparison, automated switching features, and savings calculations using real-time data from certified suppliers.

Are the suppliers on ElectricRates.org certified?

Yes, all electricity suppliers shown on our platform are certified by the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission (PA PUC). We use the same data sources as the official PA Power Switch tool but present it in a more user-friendly format.

What's PA Power Switch?

It's the official electricity comparison tool run by the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission. Pennsylvania deregulated its electricity market in 1996 under the Electricity Generation Customer Choice and Competition Act, which means you can choose your electricity supplier instead of just using your utility's default rate.

PA Power Switch lists all the licensed suppliers and their current rates. The site works fine, but comparing options takes a while - especially if you want to calculate what you'd save.

We're not replacing it. We just made the comparison part faster.
