How electricity choice works in UGI Utilities territory

Pennsylvania is a deregulated electricity state. That means you can choose who generates your electricity while UGI Utilities continues to deliver it through the existing power lines.

If you've never switched suppliers, you're on UGI Utilities's "default service" rate—also called the "Price to Compare." This rate is set through a regulatory process and changes periodically. Licensed suppliers compete for your business and may offer rates below the default.

UGI Utilities remains your utility regardless of which supplier you choose. They maintain the wires, handle outages, and send your bill. The only difference is a line item showing your supplier's generation charge instead of UGI Utilities's default rate.
