The following story is brought free of charge to readers by VertexOne, the exclusive EDI provider of EnergyChoiceMatters.com
In a statement regarding Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro's recent budget address, in which Shapiro said that PECO, Duquesne Light, FirstEnergy, and PPL are working with the governor and General Assembly to enact "commonsense" reforms that will ban deceptive contracts by retail providers (story here), PPL Corporation and PPL Electric Utilities said that, "In 2025 alone, retail shopping abuses cost our residential customers over $60 million."
"Providing clear information, enforcing fair practices and offering customer education are essential to ensuring customers pay the appropriate rates for electricity supply -- the largest single component of the electricity bill," PPL said
PPL said, "In the last five years, supply prices for PPL Electric customers have surged by more than 200%. Currently, supply costs account for 47% of a typical residential customer bill with another 8% influenced by state policies and taxes."
PPL Electric noted that it has supported legislation to allow utilities to build and own generation again
