Common questions about electricity rates, plans, and suppliers in Pottsville and the PPL service area.

How does electricity choice work in Pottsville?

Pottsville is part of Pennsylvania’s deregulated electricity market. PPL Electric Utilities is the electric distribution company (EDC) that owns the power lines and meters, but you choose which electric generation supplier (EGS) provides your electricity and at what rate. Suppliers compete for your business, which keeps Pottsville rates competitive.

What is the cheapest rate?

As of April 12, 2026 @ 10:11 PM CT, the cheapest Pottsville electricity rate is 8.89¢/kWh at 1,000 kWh usage, offered by American Power & Gas (American Power & Gas of Pennsylvania LLC 1 - 8.89¢). The average rate across all 132 available plans is 14.22¢/kWh. Rates are updated multiple times daily.

What is the average bill?

At the current average rate of 14.22¢/kWh, a Pottsville home using 1,000 kWh/month pays approximately $142/month. Pottsville homes average 800-1,000 kWh/month, with summer peaks driven by AC and winter peaks driven by electric heat.

Who delivers power?

PPL Electric Utilities is the electric distribution company (EDC) for Pottsville and southeastern Pennsylvania. PPL owns and maintains the poles, wires, and meters. For power outages, contact PPL at 1-800-342-5775 or visit pplelectric.com.

Fixed or variable?

Fixed-rate plans are recommended for most Pottsville homes. The region’s cold winters and warm summers mean electricity usage fluctuates, making budget predictability valuable. A fixed rate protects you from wholesale market spikes during both summer heat waves and winter cold snaps.

How do I switch?

Pottsville commercial electricity is custom-quoted based on your demand profile, usage volume, and contract length. Unlike residential plans, commercial pricing includes demand charges. Pottsville businesses in PPL territory typically save 10-25% by comparing suppliers. Request a free quote at electricchoice.com/business-electricity/.

What happens when my contract expires?

You may revert to PPL’s PTC. Reshop before expiration.

Who handles outages?
