Energy costs for electric customers are going up by as much as 50% across Pennsylvania next week. This is as the Biden Bolsheviks destroy our energy sector and push us to electric.
Eight Pennsylvania electric utilities are set to increase their energy prices on Dec. 1, reflecting the higher cost to produce electricity.
Peco Energy, which serves Philadelphia and its suburbs, will boost its energy charge by 6.4% on Dec. 1.
PPL Electric Utilities, the Allentown company that serves a large swath of Pennsylvania including parts of Bucks, Montgomery, and Chester Counties, will impose a 26% increase on residential energy costs on Dec. 1.
Pike County Light & Power, which serves about 4,800 customers in Northeast Pennsylvania, will increase energy charges by 50%.
“All electric distribution companies face the same market forces as PPL Electric Utilities,” PPL said in a statement. Each Pennsylvania utility follows a different PUC-regulated plan for procuring energy from power generators, which explains why some customers are absorbing the hit sooner rather than later,” it said.

Dayam, in one week? Ten years back they had the tax assessor’s debacle with people getting an almost $1000 increase or higher in one year, they had to redo all audits for east side of town.
Some people on fixed income laughed and said yea right at the increased property tax bills and went to lawyers.
Change is inevitable and was coming but this hyper change compressed reset may be great for the elites but not for the rest of us.
Designed control systems for fossil-fuel fired power plants for 20 years. The entire industry has been decimated over the last decade. Wind farms and solar panels are a joke when comparing $/kw. There is literally no comparison. Wind and solar are prohibitively expensive and quite unreliable. And those are the positive attributes!
To say nothing about the fact that a good portion of both solar and wind generating systems are not recyclable, and many portions of the system have a relatively small useable life window. Where the only portion of the fossil fueled system not recyclable is the fuel.
The WH is going to blame the ‘increase’ on “greedy” utilities…snicker, snicker…
