Erie, PA commercial electricity rates
Who delivers electricity to Erie businesses, how retail supplier choice works there, the Pennsylvania commercial average with its EIA data month, and who regulates it. Market context with its source and date, never a quote.
EIA averages, data through 06/2026, published per state. All-in means supply and delivery together; supplier contract quotes cover the supply portion only, so the two are not directly comparable.
Erie commercial electricity at a glance
Erie (Erie County) is delivered by Penelec, which stays the wires company whichever supplier a business picks. Erie is delivered by Penelec, the FirstEnergy utility that covers much of northern and western Pennsylvania. The EIA publishes a statewide figure, not a city one: the average Pennsylvania commercial account paid 13.33¢ per kWh all-in, supply and delivery together, versus 14.19¢ nationally (EIA, 06/2026), and used about 4,520 kWh a month (EIA, through 2026). That average mixes corner stores with hospitals, so it is market context rather than a quote for any one business, and supplier contract quotes cover the supply portion only, so the two figures are not directly comparable. Voltcheckr LLC is registered as an electricity broker in Texas (PUCT Broker Registration BR260102) and is not currently registered in Pennsylvania.

Can an Erie business choose its electricity supplier?
Yes. Erie is in Penelec's territory, and the utility keeps delivering the power whichever supplier the business picks. The supply portion can come from a competitive supplier approved by the PA PUC, and a business that never chooses stays on the utility's default supply rate.
