Finding the Best Rates in Harrisburg

When switching electricity providers in Harrisburg, you should consider the following factors:

  • Electricity Supply Rate – This is the rate for your electricity supply charged by the kilowatt-hour. It’s listed on your electricity bill and you use it when comparing electricity plans.
  • Electricity Plan Type – There are many types of electricity plans out there. ElectricityRates.com offers fixed-rate plans. Among these fixed-rate plans, there are plans with incentives (like smart home systems) and plans sourced from 100% renewable energy.
  • Electricity Plan Length – On ElectricityRates.com, the plan length shows how long your electricity rate is locked in. A plan’s length can range anywhere from 6 months to 3 years.

Harrisburg’s Energy Choice & Deregulation

Energy Choice became available to Harrisburg residents after Pennsylvania deregulated its electricity market in 1996. After this, the electricity consumer now had the option to pick their own electricity provider. This forced electricity providers to compete, giving today’s electricity consumers more choices.

PA Power Switch is the official energy shopping website operated by the PA PUC. There you’ll find a wide range of plans to choose from offered by suppliers with varying levels of credibility.
On ElectricityRates.com you’ll only find great rates from reputable PA energy providers so you can rest assured you’re making the best choice.

Harrisburg is included in Pennsylvania’s Alternative and Clean Energy Program (ACE). This program was established to make renewable energy sources available throughout Harrisburg and the entire state of PA. It works by providing grant and loan funds for projects supporting the growth of green energy generation.
