The Pennsylvania PUC reminded customers of previously reported changes in default service electric rates which take effect on June 1.

“During these difficult times, consumers may be looking for ways to lower monthly bills by reducing energy usage and supply costs,” said PUC Chairman Gladys Brown Dutrieuille. “We encourage consumers to carefully review their electric bills, understand the rates they will be paying and explore the PUC’s official electric shopping website, PAPowerSwitch.com, for details on competitive offers, along with tips for energy conservation and savings.”

According to the PUC, beginning on June 1, EDCs that have projected changes in their Prices to Compare (PTCs) for residential default service customers include (all data as listed by PUC):
