Is your Pennsylvania electricity rate too high? Check it against every listed offer.

Three numbers from your bill: your distribution company, the generation rate per kWh and any monthly fee your supplier charges, and your monthly kWh; or tick that you have never chosen a supplier and the baseline is your company's Price to Compare. We cost every offer the PUC's PAPowerSwitch lists for your company at that usage, say how many would cost less, which is cheapest and what it would save over a year. Nothing is a quote and nothing is promoted.

OpenStream holds no Pennsylvania PUC licence as an electric generation supplier, broker or marketer, and earns nothing from any supplier. How we are paid.

What the check does

PAPowerSwitch, the PUC's shopping site, lists every supplier offer per distribution company as a generation price per kWh and, sometimes, a monthly fee, beside the company's Price to Compare. Given your company we know which offers apply; given your kWh we spread each fee over it; given your own rate and fee (or the Price to Compare) we can say how many offers would cost less for generation, which is cheapest and what it would save. The ranking is price alone and every offer links to the supplier's own page.

Common questions

Which figures do I enter?
The generation (supply) price per kWh on your bill and, if your supplier charges one, its monthly fee; the distribution company's delivery charges are not part of the comparison because they are the same whichever supplier you choose. If you have never chosen a supplier, tick the box and the baseline is the company's Price to Compare as PAPowerSwitch states it.
What is the Price to Compare?
The default generation price per kWh a customer pays when they do not choose a supplier, set by each distribution company and published on PAPowerSwitch with the date it was last updated and the rate that takes effect next. A supplier's offer saves money only if its price, with any monthly fee spread over your usage, is under it.
How is OpenStream paid?
It is not: OpenStream holds no Pennsylvania PUC licence as a supplier, broker or marketer and earns nothing from any supplier. Every link is a plain hand-off to the supplier's own enrolment page as PAPowerSwitch lists it, with any referral tag removed.
