PECO Energy customers who would like information on how to shop and compare prices for an electric supplier on an "apples-to-apples" basis will receive some valuable assistance in their next PECO Energy bill. All PECO Energy customers will receive an Electric Choice and Price to Compare guide from the Pennsylvania Office of Consumer Advocate(OCA) as an insert with their October bill. The guide includes background information on shopping and a list of licensed electric suppliers and their prices for PECO residential customers. There is comparison price information for regular residential and residential heating customers that shows how much PECO Energy customers would pay to each supplier for generation and transmission service at two different usage levels.

The Pennsylvania Electric Choice Program allows consumers to choose the company that provides the generation and transmission portion of their electric service. The cost for generation and transmission make up the customer's Price to Compare. PECO Energy customers with questions can call the OCA toll free at 1-800-684-6560 or PECO Energy's Consumer Choice Education Center at 1-800-980-9655.
