How Much Do FirstEnergy Price to Compare (PTC) Charges Cost?
In Pennsylvania, FirstEnergy's utilities set PTC rates by holding auctions to line up their electricity supplies. Auctions are held four times a year to cover four delivery periods. When the auctions are completed, the PA Public Utilities Commission must approve the prices for both the generation supply and transmission.
FirstEnergy announces new PTC rates for each of its utilities every March 1, June 1, September 1, and December 1. Because wholesale electricity rates are tied to weather and demand, these utilities' PTC rates can change every three months. Summer rates tend to be higher than the rest of the year.

FirstEnergy Pennsylvania FAQs
What is FirstEnergy Pennsylvania?
In 2024, FirstEnergy combined its four Pennsylvania utilities, Met-Ed, Penelec, Penn Power and West Penn Power, into one company called FirstEnergy Pennsylvania. Each area still has its own rates and its own Price to Compare, so check the page for your local utility when you compare plans.
Can my business choose its own electricity provider in FirstEnergy territory?
Yes. Businesses served by Met-Ed, Penelec, Penn Power or West Penn Power can shop for a business electricity plan instead of staying on FirstEnergy's default rate. Many businesses choose a fixed rate to make energy costs easier to budget. FirstEnergy continues to deliver power and handle outages for your location. Request a free quote for PA business electricity rates.
How do I know which FirstEnergy utility serves me?
Your electric bill lists your local utility. You can also enter your ZIP code to compare PA electricity plans, and the tool will show the utility that serves your address. If more than one utility serves your ZIP code, choose the one listed on your bill.
What do I need to get a business electricity quote?
Have a recent electric bill on hand. It shows your account number, service address and recent usage in kWh, which providers use to price an offer for your business. If you have multiple locations, gather a bill for each one. Then request a free quote to compare PA commercial electricity rates.
Will switching plans interrupt my FirstEnergy service?
No. Switching changes only who supplies your electricity, not how it reaches you. You keep the same meter and power lines, and your FirstEnergy utility still sends your bill. Check your current plan for an early cancellation fee before you switch, and compare Pennsylvania electricity rates to see current offers.
How do I report a FirstEnergy power outage?
Call 1-888-LIGHTSS (1-888-544-4877) or report it on FirstEnergy's website, and check the FirstEnergy outage map for repair updates. Outages are FirstEnergy's responsibility no matter which provider supplies your electricity. If you see a downed power line, stay away from it and call 911 first.
