Lebanon, PA Electricity Rates & Electric Choice
The City of Lebanon is the county seat of Lebanon County, a Pennsylvania Dutch city known for its namesake bologna, its downtown around Eighth and Cumberland streets, and neighborhoods of brick rowhouses and twins. Many households here manage close budgets, and some rely on budget billing or utility assistance programs to keep bills steady. In Pennsylvania you can generally choose an electric generation supplier (EGS) while your electric distribution company (EDC) delivers power and restores outages. The Lebanon County territory is Met-Ed / PPL Electric (split). Rate Raven is a subscription broker/advisor that monitors rates and helps you decide when switching makes sense — not a supplier.

Electric choice in Lebanon (Lebanon County)
Lebanon County is split between Met-Ed, a FirstEnergy Pennsylvania rate district, and PPL Electric Utilities, each with its own Price to Compare. Verify by address on your bill or PAPowerSwitch.
Payment programs and shopping:
- Customer Assistance Programs (CAP) can have their own shopping rules. Ask your utility before accepting any offer.
- Budget billing smooths payments but doesn't change your price per kWh.
- Bill help doesn't require switching suppliers. Anyone who says otherwise is selling something.
- Delivery stays with your EDC, including outage response.
What to check on your Lebanon bill
- Your EDC — Met-Ed or PPL Electric.
- Default service or an EGS — and whether you knowingly chose any supplier listed.
- The Price to Compare (PTC) for your utility and rate class.
- Contract end date, exit fee, and fixed vs. variable pricing.
- CAP or budget-billing enrollment.
On budget billing, your payment can stay steady while the price underneath changes. Check the supply price per kWh on the detailed bill, not only the amount due.
Helpful guides:
When NOT to switch
- You're in an assistance program and haven't confirmed the rules.
- Someone links bill help to switching suppliers. They're separate.
- You compared against the other utility's PTC.
- You're mid-contract and the exit fee outweighs any gain.
- The offer doesn't clearly beat your PTC after fees and terms.
- Default service is fine for now. There's no penalty for staying.
