Chester, PA Electricity Rates & Electric Choice

Chester is Pennsylvania's oldest city and Delaware County's only city, a Delaware River community with Widener University, Subaru Park on the waterfront, and neighborhoods of rowhouses and twins stretching up from the river. Many households here watch every bill closely, and electricity is one where knowing the rules protects you. In Pennsylvania you can generally choose an electric generation supplier (EGS) while your electric distribution company (EDC) delivers power and restores outages. Chester is PECO territory. Rate Raven is a subscription broker/advisor that monitors rates and helps you decide when switching makes sense — not a supplier.

Electric choice in Chester (Delaware County)

Delaware County is PECO territory, and retail choice generally applies. Verify by address on your bill or PAPowerSwitch.

Before you switch anything:

• PECO's Customer Assistance Program (CAP) has its own shopping rules. If you're enrolled, ask PECO first.
• LIHEAP and other bill help don't require you to change suppliers. Anyone who says otherwise is selling something.
• Offers must come with a written disclosure showing price, term, fees, and renewal terms.
• Delivery stays with PECO, including outage response.

What to check on your Chester bill

1. Your EDC — expect PECO.
2. Default service or an EGS — and whether you knowingly chose any supplier listed.
3. PECO's Price to Compare (PTC) for your rate class.
4. Contract end date, exit fee, and fixed vs. variable pricing.
5. CAP, LIHEAP, or budget-billing enrollment.

If a supplier appears on your bill that you didn't choose, call PECO. You can return to default service, and PECO can explain how the enrollment happened.

When NOT to switch

• You're in CAP or another assistance program and haven't confirmed the rules.
• Someone links bill help to switching suppliers. They're separate.
• You're mid-contract and the exit fee outweighs any gain.
• The offer doesn't clearly beat PECO's PTC after fees and terms.
• Default service is fine for now. There's no penalty for staying.
• The offer starts low and turns variable with no clear limit.
