Current PPL Electric Rates (Starting June 2025)
PPL Electric Utilities' residential Price to Compare for the generation supply portion of your bill is:
12.491¢/kWh from June 1, 2025 to November 2025
Key Takeaways
- PPL customers will see a significant increase in their electricity bills starting June 1, 2025, with the Price to Compare rising by approximately 16% to 12.491¢ per kWh, translating to an estimated $22-$28 monthly increase for a typical residential customer using 1,000 kWh.
- The rate increase is attributed to an increase in capacity costs borne by higher demand from the PJM Interconnection grid, plus rising natural gas costs and updated infrastructure investments in PPL's territory.
This represents a 16% increase from the previous rate period and affects all PPL customers throughout central and eastern Pennsylvania.
For residential customers, this current Price to Compare is higher than the previous rate of 10.771¢/kWh that was in effect from December 2024 to May 2025.
PPL delivers electricity to more than 1.4 million homes and businesses in areas including Lancaster, Harrisburg, Bethlehem, Allentown, and Berwick.
Competitive Supplier Rates vs. PPL Rates Per kWh
Pennsylvania's deregulated energy market allows customers to choose alternative suppliers that may offer lower rates than the utility's standard offer.
Current PPL energy rates can be compared with competitive supplier options:
For PPL customers, supplier rates as low as 7.69¢/kWh have been available, potentially providing savings of over 30% compared to PPL's current Price to Compare.
However, supplier costs will likely increase as well. Lock a rate in if you need to.
Recent Changes in PPL Current Rates
PPL's Price to Compare rates have shown significant fluctuation in recent years.
It's important to note that Pennsylvania capacity charges change in June and will increase utility rates by 10-20%.
Supplier offers already incorporate these coming cost increases. Additionally, PPL has filed for Smart Meter Rider – Phase 2 (SMR 2) charges effective January 1, 2025 through March 31, 2025, which affects distribution charges for residential customers [5].
By monitoring current PPL rates and regularly comparing available options from third-party suppliers, Pennsylvania residents can optimize their electricity costs while preparing for seasonal fluctuations in energy usage.
