How does Energy Choice work in Bethlehem?
Energy Choice became available to Bethlehem residents after Pennsylvania deregulated its electricity market in 1996. After this, electricity consumers now had the option to pick their own electricity provider and it forced electricity providers to compete.
Today, Bethlehem residents have more control over their electricity. If they want to pick a plan with renewable energy, they can. If they want to save as much money as possible on their electric bill, they can lock in a low electricity rate for years with a fixed-rate plan.
