Who has the cheapest electricity rates in Brentwood?
The cheapest rate depends on your usage and preferences. Duquesne Light'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 Brentwood?
Brentwood is served by Duquesne Light, so a Brentwood bill tracks Duquesne Light's territory rather than a city-specific number — the EIA doesn't publish a Brentwood-only average. In Duquesne Light's territory, residential electricity runs about 21.74¢/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 Brentwood figure — that works out to roughly $185 a month. For context, Pennsylvania as a whole averages about $145 a month (EIA, 2024).
What a Duquesne Light bill looks like by usage (all-in, 21.74¢/kWh, EIA 2024)
| Monthly usage | Approx. all-in bill |
|---|---|
| 500 kWh (small apartment) | ~$109 |
| 850 kWh (assumed average) | ~$185 |
| 1,000 kWh (mid-size home) | ~$217 |
| 1,500 kWh (larger home) | ~$326 |
| 2,000 kWh (large or all-electric) | ~$435 |
Illustrative — your bill is your usage × the rate; 850 kWh is an assumption, not measured Brentwood usage.
Your bill splits into two parts. Delivery is set by Duquesne Lightand you can't shop it — your address assigns your utility, and in Brentwood that's Duquesne Light. Supply (generation) is the part you can shop: Duquesne Light's Price to Compare — the default supply rate to beat — is 14.140¢/kWh as of June 2026, about $120 of a 850-kWh bill and the larger share (~65%) of the all-in price. A competitive supplier rate below 14.140¢ lowers the supply portion; it doesn't touch delivery or how much you use.
The 21.74¢ 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 Brentwood
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 Brentwood, Duquesne Light is the distribution utility for every household — but you have the legal right to choose your supplier from 44 licensed competitors. Switching suppliers doesn't change Duquesne Light's service, your wires, or your reliability — only the generation portion of your bill changes.
