Stroud Township, PA Electricity Rates & Electric Choice
Stroud Township surrounds Stroudsburg and East Stroudsburg in Monroe County, taking in the Route 611 and Route 209 corridors, Pocono Township's edges, and a mix of year-round homes, second homes, and rental properties at the gateway to the Poconos. Part-time and seasonal properties use electricity very differently than a full-time household. In Pennsylvania you can generally choose an electric generation supplier (EGS) while your electric distribution company (EDC) delivers power and restores outages. The Monroe County territory is PPL Electric / Met-Ed (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 Stroud Township (Monroe County)
Monroe County is split between PPL Electric Utilities and Met-Ed, a FirstEnergy Pennsylvania rate district, each with its own Price to Compare. Verify by address on your bill or PAPowerSwitch.
For second homes and rentals:
- Uneven usage changes the math. A flat monthly supplier fee weighs heavily in months the house sits empty.
- Winter heating while vacant can still drive large bills in electrically heated homes.
- Short-term rentals may be billed as commercial, with a different PTC.
- Delivery stays with your EDC, including outage response.
What to check on your Stroud Township bill
- Your EDC — PPL Electric or Met-Ed.
- Default service or an EGS contract.
- The Price to Compare (PTC) for the account's rate class.
- Contract end date, exit fee, monthly fees, and fixed vs. variable pricing.
- Your 12-month usage pattern.
Look at your lowest-usage month. If a supplier's monthly fee would be a big share of that bill, the offer probably doesn't fit a part-time home.
Helpful guides:
When NOT to switch
- A monthly fee outweighs savings in low-use months.
- You compared against the wrong rate class's PTC.
- You're mid-contract and the exit fee outweighs the benefit.
- The offer doesn't clearly beat your PTC after fees and terms.
- Default service is acceptable and simplicity matters.
- You haven't compared apples to apples on term length and pricing type.
