Who delivers electricity in Lancaster?

Three steps: (1) compare plans from 8 providers serving Lancaster, (2) enroll online with your chosen EGS (Electric Generation Supplier), (3) wait 1–2 billing cycles for your local utility to process it. No appointment needed and no interruption to your power. the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission (PA PUC) oversees the switching process to ensure it’s seamless. The only change is who supplies your power and at what rate.
Are there renewable energy plans in Lancaster?
Lancaster residents can choose plans with renewable energy content from multiple providers. These plans use RECs to match your electricity consumption with wind and solar generation on the Texas ERCOT grid. Your delivery through your local utility is identical whether you choose a plan with renewable content or a conventional plan. Check the Electricity Facts Label (EFL) for each plan’s renewable breakdown.
How much are electricity delivery charges in Lancaster?

Should I choose a fixed or variable rate plan in Lancaster?
In Lancaster, fixed-rate plans start at 9.99¢/kWh and lock your supply rate for the contract term. Variable-rate plans fluctuate monthly based on ERCOT wholesale prices, which can spike during extreme heat or cold. Most consumers benefit from fixed rates for budget stability. the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission (PA PUC) requires all plan terms — including any early termination fees — to be disclosed in the Electricity Facts Label (EFL).
