Enter your ZIP code and you'll see live generation rates from PA PUC-licensed suppliers serving Abington on the PECO grid. Pennsylvania deregulated retail electricity in 1996 under the Electricity Generation Customer Choice and Competition Act, overseen by the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission (PA PUC). PECO still delivers the power and handles billing, but the generation portion — usually half of your bill — comes from whichever supplier you pick. Compare each offer against PECO's Price to Compare (PTC), the default rate Abington residents pay if they don't shop. Watch for variable-rate plans that introduce a low teaser and reset after 3-6 months, plus any monthly fees buried in the contract disclosure.
The cheapest generation rate in Abington typically lands between 8¢ and 10¢ per kWh on a 12-24 month fixed plan from a PA PUC-licensed supplier — but the headline ¢/kWh isn't the whole bill. Some plans add a $4.99-$9.95 monthly fee that quietly erases the savings on lower-usage homes. The honest test is the supplier's offer vs. PECO's current Price to Compare, which resets every June and December. Compare each fixed offer's all-in total monthly cost at your real 12-month usage against the PTC — that's how you tell whether a fixed offer beats default service for your home, or whether you'd save more by staying on the PTC for now.
Pennsylvania doesn't have one flat statewide rate. Abington sits in PECO's service territory — one of several Electric Distribution Companies (EDCs) including PECO, PPL Electric, Met-Ed, Duquesne Light, West Penn Power, and PENELEC — and each EDC has its own delivery charges and Price to Compare set by the PA PUC. So a Abington household pays different delivery rates than a Philadelphia or Pittsburgh household, even on the same supplier plan. The 1996 Choice Act opened the generation market to competition, but the wires side stays with PECO and doesn't change when you switch suppliers. Two neighbors on the same Abington street can pay very different total bills depending on when each one last shopped.
