      Good Afternoon Laura, PPL only accepts payment by checking or savings. We have an outside vendor(Paymentus) who accepts debit/credit card payments for a fee for many companies including PPL. Please reach out to Paymentus Customer Service for assistance at 1-800-420-1663. Thank you!

    Thanks for being there and standing by for us. P.S. I use to be a lineman’s assistant with the Penn Central RR but they lost my records when I went into the military.

    I’m trying to switch my provider to PPL. But the PPL website does not give the option nor does the PAPowerSwitch website. Any suggestions?

      Good Morning Louis, Your account will default back to PPL by contacting the Generation Supplier on your account to cancel. Once you cancel the supplier, they electronically notify PPL of your cancellation. We then mail a letter to your home confirming the supplier is dropped and your account is returned to PPL. If you are interested in shopping in the future, please read more about safely shopping for suppliers under https://www.pplelectric.com/shopsmart. This link also provides our Standard Offer program that provides a 7% discount on our price to compare. Thanks for reaching out to us!

    Good afternoon PPL. I reasonably was off work with a medical condition, and got behind on my bill. Shut off date is for 5/2/22. I am scheduling a $106.22 payment on 5/5/22. Please contact Robert Eckman, to avoid shut off. Thank you for the excellent work PPL does 24/7.

    How does PPL compute the Tax Cut and Jobs Act Credit (Monthly adjustment for federal tax changes)? On my bills for January and February of 2023, there is a rate given, -8.23%, but what is that rate applied to? on the January bill, a credit of $9.18 is indicated – how was tgat computed? There is no explanation given anywhere!

      Good Afternoon Claire, The Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission (PUC) issued an order, requiring a “negative surcharge” or monthly credit on customer bills for electric, natural gas, water and wastewater utilities, totaling more than $320-million per year. The refunds to consumers are the result of the substantial decrease in federal corporate tax rates and other tax changes under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) of 2017, which impacted the tax liability of many utilities. Read more under https://www.atr.org/how-the-tax-cuts-and-jobs-act-is-helping-pennsylvania/or contact the PUC with questions at 1-800-692-7380. Thank you for reaching out to us!
