Palmer Township, PA Electricity Rates & Electric Choice
Palmer Township sits just northwest of Easton in Northampton County, with the Route 248 and 25th Street corridors, Palmer Park Mall, the Palmer Township Community Park, and neighborhoods of mid-century and newer homes. Households here see plenty of supplier marketing from both sides of the Lehigh Valley, and the fine print is where offers differ. In Pennsylvania you can generally choose an electric generation supplier (EGS) while your electric distribution company (EDC) delivers power and restores outages. The Northampton 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 Palmer Township (Northampton County)
Northampton 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.
Comparing an offer, step by step:
- Find your PTC — from your own utility, on your own bill.
- Read the disclosure for price per kWh, term, monthly fees, and exit fee.
- Add fees in at your typical monthly usage.
- Check the ending — the price and terms after the term or intro period.
What to check on your Palmer Township bill
- Your EDC — Met-Ed or PPL Electric.
- Default service or an EGS contract.
- The Price to Compare (PTC) for your utility and rate class.
- Contract end date, exit fee, and fixed vs. variable pricing.
- Any renewable or add-on features.
Doing these four steps once, carefully, is worth more than answering every mailer. Repeat the check when your PTC resets.
Helpful guides:
When NOT to switch
- The effective price after fees doesn't beat your PTC.
- The offer was priced against the other utility's PTC.
- You can't tell what happens after the term ends.
- You're mid-contract and the exit fee outweighs the benefit.
- Default service is acceptable and simplicity matters.
- Your address isn't standard IOU service — confirm first.
