You can buy your electricity supply from them, or you can shop electricity from any of the licensed electricity generation suppliers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are four main types of electricity plans that suppliers offer: Fixed Rate, Variable Rate, Unlimited\/Flat Bill, and Green Energy. We always recommend Fixed Rate or Green Energy Plans. These plans give you price protection, instead of a rate that changes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And, many suppliers don&#8217;t charge an early termination fee. That means that you could get a fixed price that&#8217;s lower than the price to compare. And if rates drop?

class=\"wp-block-heading\">Types of Electricity Plans in Philadelphia<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>PECO is a staple in the Philadelphia area. As such, many sign up for their plans by default.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But Pennsylvania also exemplifies energy choice, with their efforts going back roughly 30 years. The state encouraged more competition for electricity beginning in the mid-1990s to keep prices down and offer residents and businesses more control over how and from whom they got power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, this still-strong arrangement gives you two choices. You can continue to get electricity or natural gas through PECO, or you can browse the state\u2019s marketplace and switch to an energy provider. Roughly 2.5 million Pennsylvanians have opted for the latter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As you take advantage and explore your options for Philadelphia energy alternatives (and to secure cheaper rates), you\u2019ll find<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Fixed Rate.<\/strong> Your rate per kilowatt hour (kWh) is fixed for the term of your contract agreement.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Variable Rate. <\/strong>Your rate per kWh will be a low introductory rate. Then each month your rate changes, usually up every month.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Green Energy.<\/strong> Fixed rate plan backed by carbon-free electricity or renewable energy certificates.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Unlimited\/Flat Bill. <\/strong>The same bill amount every month sounds good, but you may pay less with a fixed rate plan. People tend to only of their highest bill when they consider this option, which makes it look affordable.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"what-is-the-best-electric-supplier-in-philadelphia\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is the Best Electric Supplier in Philadelphia?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The truth is, there is no one best electricity provider in Philadelphia. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But you should consider what&#8217;s important to you when shopping for electricity. Your only interaction with the supplier is the line item on your bill. So what matters are the details of the electricity plan and rate they offer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure you pay attention to these elements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Rate per kWh. <\/strong>What is the price you are paying per unit of power used?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Early Termination Fee.<\/strong> If you change your mind or find a better deal, what will it cost you to switch?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Monthly Fee. <\/strong>Those little fees add up. You&#8217;re paying for the electricity per kilowatt hour, and paying delivery and transmission fees. Why pay more each month? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Contract Term. <\/strong>Contract terms can vary from 12 to 36 months. If prices are low and you think the utility rate will continue to increase, look for a longer term plan with a low or no early termination fee. That way you get a low rate and can switch away at if rates drop. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-very-light-gray-background-color has-background\">You can also shop for your natural gas in Philadelphia.
