Shop electricity rates in Erie
The Erie Triangle was once a disputed territory between four colonies and the Eriez tribe, but was officially defined in 1792 when the commonwealth of Pennsylvania purchased the area from the U.S. government. With such a diverse history, it’s no surprise that the competitive spirit of the past carried forward. Residents here enjoy a deregulated energy market, which gives consumers the power to choose natural gas and light companies to supply their energy.
While most homes aren’t as large as the ones found on West 6th Street (or Millionaire’s Row), every home has access to the same selection for finding a competitive electric company in Erie, PA.

Enter your ZIP code to see which plans are available in your neighborhood, which might include no deposit or prepaid plans.
