The agency supervising public utilities in Pennsylvania warned that many energy companies will raise their prices on December 1.
In a statement, the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission said that there will be “potentially large winter energy cost increases” in many areas:
Most Pennsylvania regulated electric utilities are adjusting the price they charge for the generation portion of customers’ bills on December 1 for non-shopping customers, also known as the “Price to Compare” (PTC). The PTC averages 40% to 60% of the customer’s total utility bill. However, this percent varies by utility and by the level of individual customer usage.
The PUC notes that the Commission does not regulate prices for the generation portion of electric bills. For those customers that do not shop, electric utilities obtain default generation service using a procurement process overseen by the PUC — the electric utility in effect “shops” for the customer. Generation prices are separate from the closely regulated rates that utilities charge for their distribution services — the delivery of electricity to homes and businesses.
Providers increasing their prices include:
Citizens’ Electric — 6.9777 cents to 7.9476 cents per kWh (13.9%)
Duquesne Light — 7.41 cents to 7.98 cents per kWh (7.7%)
PECO — 6.597 cents to 7.021 cents per kWh (6.4%)
PPL — 7.544 cents to 9.502 cents per kWh (26%)
Pike County Light & Power — 6.5234 cents to 9.796 cents per kWh (50.2%)

I hope all the Pennsylvanians who voted for Joe Dementia are happy paying their new heating bills, and winter hasn't even formally started.
Exact.
Deflation.
Price Controls.
IOW
Price controls go into effect while Unemployment is masked as D-Employment
Watch for Bailouts coming.
Government creates a problem so they can swoop in to “resolve” the problem and be the heroes! All the while controlling another sector of society.
To protest, I will burn coal. We have plenty of that too.
Burning wood as we speak.
Dear Progressives, you are going to pay for this.
Does some of PA still get electricity from 3 Mile Island? ☢
I've been trying to bat this into the heads of Republican cheerleaders with little to no success.
They will all blame Trump somehow.
I did not vote for Biden. Do not blame me!
Time to start learning to live off the grid, folks, or just be less dependent on the grid. I know I love my wood burning stove and I am surrounded by trees. But I will admit, while I could cut them down and quarter them with hand tools, gas powered motors certainly make it easier.
You’d think with the energy infrastructures already in place, energy costs would get less expensive over the years as infrastructures would simply expand and improve, become efficient etc.
But it always keeps going up. And up and up where for many people it becomes a luxury. Very odd.
Pup tents prices jumping also?
What about natural gas rates? Going up up up and AWAY!
Tsk, tsk...shouldn’t have gone Biden.
Electric Cars - never fill your tank again! - sarc
My sister has been putting them on gas pumps here (only a pic of Trump saying “Biden did that!”). I’ve put a few in the grocery store beef bin.
“I did not vote for Biden. Do not blame me!”
Same here in Illinois...we are collateral damage thanks to filthy democrats surrounding us.
