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.
