A simple switch
One of the best things about shopping for your electricity supply is that you can switch to another supplier whenever you want. Sometimes a better deal comes along, and you want to take advantage.
Canceling your current supply contract is a straightforward, two-step process.
The first step: Understand if there are any penalties for canceling, so you’re not taken by surprise. Check your contract or ask your supplier if there are fees to cancel.
(If you’re switching to another supplier, you should also check in advance whether they charge a cancellation fee. You can find this out at the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission’s PAPowerSwitch.com site, which lists the terms of available offers from competitive suppliers.)
For the second step, you can choose one of three options, depending on whether you want to switch to a new supplier or come back to PPL’s price to compare. Choose one of the following:
– Contact your supplier directly to cancel. You’ll automatically come back to the PPL price to compare – the price we charge to supply power to customers who don’t shop – until you pick a new supplier.
– Contact another supplier directly to sign up with them. That supplier will let us know, and we’ll make the switch for you.
– Contact us at 1-800-342-5775. We’ll also put you back on the price to compare rate.
If you have any questions about either your current contract or your next one, call your supplier to find out more. You should definitely be aware of the terms of any contract, including whether you’ll pay a fixed rate – one that doesn’t change – or a variable rate, which can change from month to month based on market conditions and power prices.
You may also be interested in taking part in our Standard Offer program, a fixed-rate plan that guarantees a 7 percent discount off our price in effect at the time of enrollment. There is no cancellation fee, and the discount remains in effect for 12 months. To find out more, call us at 1-800-342-5775.

My current Electrical supplier is First Energy Solutions and I am contracted until October 2020 at .072 rate, so I am looking at new suppliers. I am seeking to know if I can return the way it used to be where PP&L would source suppliers on their own instead of me having to shop and choose every yr? I also want to know which energy has taken over for First Energy Solutions since March 2008 hen they declared bankruptcy? Mark Curtis, mjcurtis@centurylink.net.
Good Afternoon Mark, With Choice in Pennsylvania, you can shop for a generation supplier or if you choose not to shop, then your account remains with PPL and we shop for the lowest rate for you twice a year. You can shop for Generation Suppliers under http://www.papowerswitch.com or http://www.pplelectric.com/shopping. It looks like FirstEnergy Solutions has now become Energy Harbor according to their website. Thanks for reaching out to us!
