By entering your ZIP code, you can explore a range of electricity plans in Philadelphia. The two main energy plan types include fixed-rate and variable-rate. Fixed-rate plans provide price stability for the duration of your contract. These plans are ideal for those who prefer consistent, predictable bills.
Variable-rate plans fluctuate based on Pennsylvania’s energy market, meaning your rate can change monthly.

Variable-rate plans are best for a short-term with no contract but don’t offer the predictability of fixed-rate plans.
