Your Electric Bill Is Going Up

First the cost of gasoline goes up and then groceries, and now, your electric bill.  The Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission is alerting consumers about upcoming electric price adjustments effective June 1^st.  Officials say the changes coincide with increasing electricity demand and higher summer energy costs across Pennsylvania.  The June 1^st adjustments will impact the “Price to Compare” (PTC) for electric distribution companies, which is the cost per kilowatt-hour charged to customers who have not chosen a competitive electric generation supplier.  Residential customers will see their default service – Price to Compare rates adjust starting June 1^st.  West Penn Power’s Price to Compare will increase by 10.3%.
