From November 9 to November 15, PECO saw residential migration grow by 3,100 accounts, up from growth of 1,700 accounts in the immediately prior week and about 2,400 accounts for each of the last few weeks of October.

Most notable is that, from November 6 to November 12, Duquesne Light saw residential migration grow by 1,700 accounts, more than double the week-ago growth. It also appears to be highest weekly residential migration growth rate seen at Duquesne Light since May (the total is the highest growth since a two-week period in May which saw Duquesne Light increase residential migration by 4,000 accounts; due to a reporting gap in the stats, the weekly breakdown of this May growth is not available).

PPL saw weekly residential migration growth of 1,340 accounts, down from the week-ago growth of nearly 2,800 accounts.

At Penelec, the weekly residential migration growth was 1,700 accounts, up from 1,400 a week ago.

West Penn Power residential migration growth for the most recent week of 1,371 accounts, just shy of the week-ago 1,458.

Finally, Met-Ed saw weekly residential migration growth double to over 1,100 accounts from about 560 a week ago.
