From December 27 to January 2, PECO saw the number of residential electric customers on competitive supply increase by 1,900 accounts. While this is down from the growth of 9,300 accounts in the immediately prior week, it is still a solid number given the holiday meter reading schedule, and in light of a weekly loss in residential migration earlier in December.

Data for PPL was not included in the week-ago report, so a weekly growth comparison is not available. However, from December 16 to December 29, PPL saw the number of residential customers on competitive supply increase by 1,300 accounts.
