Electric rates on the rise again
The Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission announced that electric generation prices for all PUC-regulated utilities will change on June 1, coinciding with increased electricity use due to summer air-conditioning demand.
Summer electric bills are affected by both the market price of electricity and the amount used during hot weather periods.
Electric distribution companies in Pennsylvania will adjust their default service Price to Compare rates for residential customers starting June 1, potentially increasing supply costs.
Generation charges can make up a significant portion of a residential electric bill, but total summer bills vary widely due to weather conditions and electricity usage.
