PPL Electric Utilities' current price to compare is 13.079¢ per kWh for homes and 12.748¢ for small businesses. That's the price you pay for electricity supply if you haven't chosen a supplier, and it's the number any supplier offer has to beat.
I keep this page current from PPL's own published figures, so you can check it before you shop.

What This Means for Your Business
- It changes on PPL's schedule, not yours. A fixed price from a licensed supplier locks the number for the term you choose.
- What it's worth: A business using 5,000 kWh a month at 12.748¢ pays about $637 a month for supply alone. Every 1¢ per kWh a supplier can beat that by is worth about $50 a month, or $600 a year, at that usage.
- It's a benchmark, not a quote. Licensed suppliers price your actual account. Whether an offer beats it depends on your usage, start date, and term.
- Capacity matters for bigger accounts. PPL is in PJM, where capacity costs are part of what you pay. Check how any contract handles them. Here's the story on PJM capacity.
How to Compare an Offer to PPL
- Find your rate class and price on your PPL bill (or use the table above).
- Compare the price per kWh for supply only.
- Check the term, the end date, and what happens when the contract ends.
- Check for a cancellation fee and any monthly fee.
- Pennsylvania gives you 3 business days to cancel after you receive the supplier's disclosure statement, and suppliers must send notices before a fixed contract ends. More in our Pennsylvania guide.
