Wilkes-Barre Electricity FAQ
Common questions about electricity rates, plans, and suppliers in Wilkes-Barre and the PPL service area.
How does electricity choice work in Wilkes-Barre?
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.
What is the cheapest rate?
As of April 14, 2026 @ 9:59 PM CT, the cheapest Wilkes-Barre electricity rate is 8.5¢/kWh at 1,000 kWh usage, offered by EcoPlus Power LLC (EcoPlus Power LLC 1 - 8.50¢). The average rate across all 134 available plans is 14.23¢/kWh. Rates are updated multiple times daily.
What is the average bill?
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.
Who delivers power?
PPL Electric Utilities is the electric distribution company (EDC) for Wilkes-Barre 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 Wilkes-Barre 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?
Wilkes-Barre commercial electricity is custom-quoted based on your demand profile, usage volume, and contract length. Unlike residential plans, commercial pricing includes demand charges. Wilkes-Barre 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 or roll onto a variable rate. Reshop before expiration.
Who handles outages?
PPL at 1-800-342-5775.
