Lower Merion Township, PA Electricity Rates & Electric Choice
Lower Merion Township stretches along the Main Line just west of Philadelphia, taking in Ardmore, Bryn Mawr, Merion, Gladwyne, Wynnewood, and Bala Cynwyd, with Haverford and Bryn Mawr colleges nearby and SEPTA's regional rail stops strung along the corridor. Many homes are large and older, and a growing number now have heat pumps, EV chargers, or rooftop solar — upgrades that change how much electricity a household uses and when. In Pennsylvania you can generally choose an electric generation supplier (EGS) while your electric distribution company (EDC) delivers power and restores outages. The Montgomery County territory is PECO / PPL Electric (split), and the Main Line is generally PECO. Rate Raven is a subscription broker/advisor — not a supplier.

Electric choice in Lower Merion Township (Montgomery County)
Most of Montgomery County, including Lower Merion, is PECO territory; PPL Electric Utilities serves parts of the upper county, and a couple of boroughs run their own electric systems. Verify by address on your bill or PAPowerSwitch.
For higher-usage and upgraded homes:
- Bigger usage magnifies differences. A small per-kWh gap adds up quickly — in either direction.
- Solar owners should read the fine print. Ask how a supplier treats net-metering credits before switching; terms vary.
- EV charging shifts your baseline. Compare offers against the last twelve months, not a pre-EV year.
- Delivery stays with PECO, including outage response.
What to check on your Lower Merion 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, renewable content, or other features you care about.
If you added solar, an EV charger, or a heat pump in the last year, your old usage history no longer describes your home. Use recent months when you compare.
Helpful guides:
When NOT to switch
- You have solar and the supplier's net-metering 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.
