Lower Makefield Township, PA Electricity Rates & Electric Choice
Lower Makefield Township stretches along the Delaware River around Yardley in lower Bucks County, with the Delaware Canal towpath, Five Mile Woods preserve, and the Garden of Reflection memorial. Its neighborhoods are mostly larger single-family homes, and a growing number have rooftop solar, EV chargers, or heat pumps. In Pennsylvania you can generally choose an electric generation supplier (EGS) while your electric distribution company (EDC) delivers power and restores outages. The Bucks County territory is PECO / PPL Electric (split), and lower Bucks is generally PECO. Rate Raven is a subscription broker/advisor that monitors rates and helps you decide when switching makes sense — not a supplier.

Electric choice in Lower Makefield Township (Bucks County)
Lower Makefield is generally PECO territory, where retail choice applies; upper Bucks includes PPL Electric Utilities and a few borough-run systems. Verify by address on your bill or PAPowerSwitch.
For homes with solar or big loads:
- Net metering deserves a question first. Ask how a supplier treats excess solar credits before switching; terms vary and may differ from default service.
- EV charging raises your baseline. Compare against recent months, not a pre-EV year.
- Bigger usage magnifies differences, good and bad.
- Delivery stays with PECO, including outage response.
What to check on your Lower Makefield Township bill
- Your EDC — expect PECO.
- Default service or an EGS contract.
- PECO's Price to Compare (PTC) for your rate class.
- Contract end date, exit fee, and fixed vs. variable pricing.
- Net-metering treatment and any renewable features you care about.
If you have solar, keep a copy of your net-metering paperwork with your supplier documents. It makes the "how are my credits handled?" question easy to ask and easy to check.
Helpful guides:
When NOT to switch
- You have solar and the supplier's credit terms are unclear or worse than what you have.
- A variable price would expose a high-usage home to swings.
- You're mid-contract and the exit fee outweighs the benefit.
- The offer doesn't clearly beat PECO's PTC after fees and terms.
- Default service is acceptable and simplicity matters.
- You haven't compared apples to apples on term length and teaser pricing.
