Pennsylvania commercial electricity rates
The average all-in rate and monthly usage for the average Pennsylvania commercial account, how retail supplier choice works there, who delivers the power and who regulates it. Market context with its source and date, never a quote.
EIA averages, data through 06/2026. All-in means supply and delivery together; supplier contract quotes cover the supply portion only, so the two are not directly comparable.
Pennsylvania commercial electricity at a glance
The average Pennsylvania commercial account paid 13.33¢ per kWh all-in, supply and delivery together, versus 14.19¢ nationally (EIA, 06/2026), and used about 4,520 kWh a month (EIA, through 2026). That average mixes corner stores with hospitals, so it is market context rather than a quote for any one business, and supplier contract quotes cover the supply portion only, so the two figures are not directly comparable. Among the 14 states with retail electricity choice, Pennsylvania has the 2nd lowest all-in commercial average. The regulator is the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission. Voltcheckr LLC is registered as an electricity broker in Texas (PUCT Broker Registration BR260102) and is not currently registered in Pennsylvania.
How retail electricity choice works in Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania businesses served by PECO, PPL Electric, Duquesne Light or the FirstEnergy utilities (Met-Ed, Penelec, Penn Power and West Penn Power) can buy their electricity supply from an electric generation supplier approved by the Pennsylvania PUC, while the utility keeps delivering the power. A business that never chooses stays on its utility's default service, priced at what the state calls the price to compare. The PUC also approves brokers and marketers, which arrange supply contracts under their own PUC authority.

Pennsylvania commercial electricity questions
What is the average commercial electricity rate in Pennsylvania?
13.33¢ per kWh all-in (supply and delivery together) for the average Pennsylvania commercial account, versus 14.19¢ nationally (EIA, 06/2026). EIA averages mix small storefronts with large facilities, and supplier contract quotes cover the supply portion only, so the two are not directly comparable.
Can a Pennsylvania business choose its electricity supplier?
Yes. Pennsylvania businesses served by PECO, PPL Electric, Duquesne Light or the FirstEnergy utilities (Met-Ed, Penelec, Penn Power and West Penn Power) can buy their electricity supply from an electric generation supplier approved by the Pennsylvania PUC, while the utility keeps delivering the power. A business that never chooses stays on its utility's default service, priced at what the state calls the price to compare. The PUC also approves brokers and marketers, which arrange supply contracts under their own PUC authority.

About 4,520 kWh a month for the average commercial account (EIA, through 2026), against 6,446 kWh nationally. That is the average across every commercial customer in the state, from a corner store to a hospital, so a specific business can sit far from it.
