Pennsylvania Electric Choice


Competition Brings Changes

There are three basic changes as a result of competition. First, electricity is being split into separate services. Before retail competition, Metropolitan Edison Company (Met-Ed) or Pennsylvania Power Company (Penelec) generated or bought the electricity and delivered it to you. Now, under Electric Choice, you choose the supplier who provides the electricity and a Met-Ed or Penelec delivers the electricity to you. The image below illustrates the separation of services resulting from competition.
