West Penn Power is a utility company that serves 720,000 customers in western and central Pennsylvania. It’s part of the Ohio-based FirstEnergy Corporation, which also owns several other utilities in the region, including Ohio Edison, Met-Ed, and Penn Power.
Thanks to deregulation in Pennsylvania, residents and business owners have the power to switch their energy supplier from a Pennsylvania utility company to an alternative retail energy supplier. Switching from a utility to a supplier may work well for consumers looking for a variety of plans or a cheaper electricity rate.
The utility company’s electricity supply rates are regulated by the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission, but that doesn’t necessarily mean these rates are more competitive than supplier rates. To get the best value for your money, you can enter your ZIP code to shop around and stay informed on suppliers, plans, and rates available in your area. If you don’t find a supplier that meets your energy needs, you can always stay with your utility.
When you live in a place with energy choice, it’s useful to take advantage of the PA Power Switch program. By participating in this program, you can compare suppliers and choose the one that best matches your needs, helping you take more control over your monthly electric bill. Get started by entering your ZIP code. You will be redirected to our Choose Energy marketplace, where you can find and sign up for an affordable Pennsylvania electricity plan today.
If you’re experiencing a power outage or notice a fallen power line in your neighborhood, you should notify West Penn Power immediately. Whether or not the company supplies your home with electricity, it’s still responsible for responding to emergencies because it maintains and operates all power lines within its service area.
As your trusted energy marketplace, SaveOnEnergy can help you find a great energy plan that fits your budget and needs.
