PECO serves all of Philadelphia and surrounding counties. The 2026 PECO price-to-compare is 11.6 cents per kWh. With 50+ PUC-certified suppliers competing below it, Philadelphia residents can lock at 9.5 to 10.1 cents per kWh on a clean 18-month contract. Estimated savings vs PTC: 13 to 18 percent on the supply portion. Row-home, apartment, and condo residents can switch without landlord approval as long as the meter is in their name.
PECO Philadelphia territory and PTC
PECO serves Philadelphia plus Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Montgomery, and York counties. The 2026 PTC is 11.6 cents per kWh, below PPL (11.9) and Duquesne (12.4).
The lower PTC reflects PECO's proximity to gas-fired peakers along the southeast PA corridor and lower transmission costs to Philadelphia from interstate pipeline interconnects.
The 5-step switch for Philadelphia residents
Step 1: visit PaPowerSwitch.com and enter your zip. The site detects PECO as your utility. Step 2: sort offers by 18-month locked rate ascending. Step 3: pick a clean offer (no teaser, $0 to $50 cancellation fee).
Step 4: sign electronically. The site or supplier redirects you through enrollment which takes 5 minutes. Step 5: wait for the next PECO meter read. The new rate appears on your next bill within 30 to 45 days.
Renter eligibility for row homes, apartments, condos
Renters with the electric meter in their own name can switch without landlord approval. Confirm meter ownership on your most recent PECO bill before pursuing.
Renters with electricity included in rent (meter in landlord name) cannot switch directly. The landlord controls supplier choice. Some landlords are open to discussing; most are not.
