Murrysville, PA Electricity Rates & Electric Choice
Murrysville is a spread-out Westmoreland County municipality along Route 22 east of Monroeville, with wooded hills, Townsend Park, the Westmoreland Heritage Trail, and neighborhoods of larger homes on generous lots. Rooftop solar, big HVAC systems, and home workshops are common here, and solar owners in particular have a question to ask before switching. In Pennsylvania you can generally choose an electric generation supplier (EGS) while your electric distribution company (EDC) delivers power and restores outages. The Westmoreland County territory is West Penn Power / Duquesne Light (border splits). Rate Raven is a subscription broker/advisor that monitors rates and helps you decide when switching makes sense — not a supplier.

Electric choice in Murrysville (Westmoreland County)
Westmoreland County is generally West Penn Power territory — a FirstEnergy Pennsylvania rate district — with Duquesne Light along parts of the Allegheny County border, which Murrysville sits close to. Verify by address on your bill or PAPowerSwitch.
For larger homes and solar owners:
- Ask how net-metering credits are handled before switching; supplier terms vary.
- Bigger usage magnifies differences, good and bad.
- Use the right PTC — West Penn and Duquesne Light publish different ones.
- Delivery and interconnection stay with your EDC.
What to check on your Murrysville bill
- Your EDC — West Penn Power or Duquesne Light.
- 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.
- Net-metering treatment and any renewable features you care about.
If you have solar, find the credit line on your bill before comparing anything. It's the part of the bill most likely to change if you switch.
Helpful guides:
When NOT to switch
- The supplier's net-metering terms are unclear or worse than what you have.
- You compared against the wrong utility's PTC.
- 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 your PTC after fees and terms.
- Default service is acceptable and simplicity matters.
