Sometimes, looking at your electricity bill can be overwhelming. There are so many specifics in your bill’s details that it can be difficult to keep track of what’s what. In the sections below, we hope to straighten a few things out to make your next bill a little bit easier to read.
The utility companies that Shipley Energy works with are PECO, Met-Ed and PPL. Regardless of your utility company, there are a few things that are constant across all bills as there are charges that the Public Utilities Commission (PUC) regulates even if you have an alternate supplier. Click here for more information about what an alternate supplier is. The charges from the utility company are listed below, but may appear in an alternate order on your bill.
If Met-Ed is your utility company, you may also see some additional charges not listed above. They are all still regulated by the PUC and will remain that way even if you choose an alternate supplier. You could see solar requirements, default service support, non-utility generation, and smart meter. What each of those charges is for can be found on page two of your bill.
For those who have an alternate supplier, like Shipley Energy, the only difference in your bill is that the generation and transmission charges will be in a separate section. Everything else will remain the same.
If you have additional questions regarding the additional charges that are regulated by the PUC, please feel free to contact your utility company or check out their website. There is a lot of great information on PAPowerSwitch.com as well.
