Common questions about electricity rates, plans, and suppliers in Wilkes-Barre and the PPL service area.
Wilkes-Barre 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 Wilkes-Barre rates competitive.

At the current average rate of 14.23¢/kWh, a Wilkes-Barre home using 1,000 kWh/month pays approximately $142/month. Wilkes-Barre homes average 800-1,000 kWh/month, with summer peaks driven by AC and winter peaks driven by electric heat.
