Who has the cheapest electricity rates in Berwick?
The cheapest rate depends on your usage and preferences. PPL Electric's default "Price to Compare" covers generation only—you'll pay that plus delivery charges either way. Licensed suppliers often beat the PTC, but compare the full rate and contract terms before switching.

What's the average electric bill in Berwick?
Berwick is served by PPL Electric, so a Berwick bill tracks PPL Electric's territory rather than a city-specific number — the EIA doesn't publish a Berwick-only average. In PPL Electric's territory, residential electricity runs about 16.99¢/kWh all-in(supply plus delivery) on average, per the EIA's 2024 data. At 850 kWh a month — a common assumption for an average home, not a measured Berwick figure — that works out to roughly $144 a month. For context, Pennsylvania as a whole averages about $145 a month (EIA, 2024).
What a PPL Electric bill looks like by usage (all-in, 16.99¢/kWh, EIA 2024)
| Monthly usage | Approx. all-in bill |
|---|---|
| 500 kWh (small apartment) | ~$85 |
| 850 kWh (assumed average) | ~$144 |
| 1,000 kWh (mid-size home) | ~$170 |
| 1,500 kWh (larger home) | ~$255 |
| 2,000 kWh (large or all-electric) | ~$340 |
Illustrative — your bill is your usage × the rate; 850 kWh is an assumption, not measured Berwick usage.
Your bill splits into two parts. Delivery is set by PPL Electricand you can't shop it — your address assigns your utility, and in Berwick that's PPL Electric. Supply (generation) is the part you can shop: PPL Electric's Price to Compare — the default supply rate to beat — is 13.147¢/kWh as of June 2026, about $112 of a 850-kWh bill and the larger share (~77%) of the all-in price. A competitive supplier rate below 13.147¢ lowers the supply portion; it doesn't touch delivery or how much you use.
The 16.99¢ all-in figure is EIA's 2024 average and the Price to Compare is the current June 2026 benchmark — different years, so treat the split as the rough shape, not exact arithmetic.

How electricity choice works in Berwick
In Pennsylvania's deregulated electricity market, the company that delivers power to your home is separate from the company that sells you the electricity itself. In Berwick, PPL Electric is the distribution utility for every household — but you have the legal right to choose your supplier from 47 licensed competitors. Switching suppliers doesn't change PPL Electric's service, your wires, or your reliability — only the generation portion of your bill changes.
PPL Electric
Delivers electricity to your home. Maintains the wires, meters, and emergency response. Every Berwick household uses PPL Electric for distribution — this is not a choice.
