How our electric rate shopping service works
- 1
Sign up once
Sign up online with code FREE2MONTHS. We need a few basics to shop and switch for you:
- Full legal name
- Service address

- Phone number

You don’t need to call your current supplier or your utility. We handle that.
- 2
We shop the market for you
Our team monitors the Pennsylvania electric market and reviews hundreds of available supplier contracts. We only consider fixed-rate plans with no cancellation fee, no monthly fee and no enrollment fee, and we compare them against your utility’s Price to Compare.
- 3
We switch you and email you the details
We enroll you in the plan and handle the paperwork. Your utility then switches your supplier, usually within 3 business days, with no interruption to your power. We email you the supplier, the rate, the contract length and the end date.
- 4
We shop again before every contract ends
We track your contract end date and shop again before it runs out. If there’s a better fixed-rate, no-fee plan, we switch you to it, so you’re never rolled onto a variable rate because nobody was watching. Plans commonly last 3 months, and we choose plans up to 12 months long when that makes sense.
What we look for, and what’s included
Shopping for electricity takes vigilance. Variable rates, extra fees and missed contract end dates are the traps that are easy to fall into on your own. Here’s what every membership covers:
Fixed-rate plans only
We never put members on a variable rate. Your price per kWh stays the same for the whole contract.
No cancellation, monthly or enrollment fees
Every plan we pick is free of all three, so there are no surprise charges and you’re free to leave a plan.
Contract end dates tracked
We watch your end date and re-shop before every renewal. Suppliers’ renewal notices are no longer your job.
Paperwork handled
We enroll you with the supplier and handle the switching, so there’s no paperwork for you.
An email every time we switch you
You’ll know the supplier, the rate, the contract length and when that contract ends.
No supplier commissions
We aren’t affiliated with any electric supplier and are paid only by our members, so we’re free to pick the best plan for you.
What it costs
- First 2 months free. Enter code FREE2MONTHS when you sign up. Your card isn’t charged until the 2 free months are over.
- Separate from your electric bill. The fee is charged to your card once a month. Your utility still sends your electric bill.
- No contract with us. Cancel anytime through the Member Portal, with no termination fee.
- Each meter is shopped on its own. You can have several meters under one membership, and the fee applies to each.
- Satisfaction guaranteed. If you’re not satisfied, we’ll do everything in our power to change that, up to and including a refund of your monthly fee.
Whether $10 a month is worth it for you depends on how much electricity you use and how far the rates we find come in under your Price to Compare. Want a quick estimate? Try our savings calculator.
Who it’s for
We can shop for you if:
- You’re a residential electric customer in Pennsylvania.
- Your electricity is delivered by one of these seven utilities:
- Renters are welcome when the electric account is in your name.
We can’t take:
- Solar panels or net metering. Those setups don’t fit the fixed-rate plans we shop.
- Customer Assistance Program (CAP) accounts. CAP customers need to follow their program’s rules for electric supply.
- Business or commercial accounts. Memberships are for homes only.
- Municipal electric systems or rural electric co-ops. Their customers can’t shop for electric supply in Pennsylvania.

Questions about having your electric rate shopped for you
Can someone shop my electric supplier for me in Pennsylvania?
Yes. As a PA PowerShopper member, we compare supplier plans for you, enroll you in a fixed-rate plan with no cancellation, monthly or enrollment fees, and keep doing it contract after contract. You don’t have to call your current supplier or your utility. We handle the switch.
Is PA PowerShopper an electric supplier?
No. We’re an independent membership service based in Mifflinburg, Pennsylvania. We don’t set rates and we aren’t affiliated with any supplier, utility or the PUC. Your utility still delivers your power, handles outages and sends your bill.
How do I know which plan you picked?
Every time we switch you, we email you the supplier, the rate, the contract length and when the contract ends. The new supplier also mails you a confirmation. A typical member sees 1 to 4 plan switches a year.
Do you guarantee I’ll save money?
No. We look for fixed-rate plans that beat your current rate, but supply rates and your utility’s Price to Compare change over time, so what you save depends on the market and how much electricity you use. Our 100% Satisfaction Guarantee covers our service, up to and including a refund of your monthly fee.
I already have an electric supplier. Can you still shop for me?
Yes. Check your current contract for an early termination fee first. Some people wait until their current contract ends before they join so they don’t pay that fee.
Is the $10 added to my electric bill?
No. Your membership is charged to your card each month, separate from your electric bill. With code FREE2MONTHS your card isn’t charged until your 2 free months are over, and you can cancel anytime with no termination fee.
What happens to my electric plan if I cancel?
Your current supplier contract stays in place at the same fixed rate until its end date. Because we only use plans with no cancellation fee, you’re free to switch or go back to your utility whenever you like. After you cancel, we stop watching your contract, so watch for your supplier’s renewal notice.
