Save on Energy Without the Confusion of PA Power Switch
PA Power Switch and PA Gas Switch allow Pennsylvanians to shop for energy suppliers in their area. However, this can be time-consuming and confusing without an energy broker, like Integrity Energy.
How Does PA Power Switch Work?
The state of Pennsylvania has had a deregulated energy market since 1996. This provides businesses and residents with electric choice, which is the power to choose who supplies their energy. This created a competitive marketplace that gave consumers the power to lower their energy bills and choose a plan that fits their unique needs. PA’s electric switch program was introduced to support this process, but navigating it alone can be overwhelming.
PA Power Switch is a state-run program that makes shopping for energy rates readily available for all Pennsylvania residents and businesses. However, because it’s a self-service platform, many businesses choose to work with a broker like Integrity Energy for expert guidance and hands-on support throughout the procurement process.

How PA Energy Choice Actually Works

Pennsylvania energy choice allows for the separation of the supply and delivery of your energy. Instead of the utility company handling both, you have the option to shop for a more competitive energy rate and plan from a retail energy supplier. The utility would no longer handle the supply of your energy but would still handle the delivery of your power.
So, how would this look on your monthly bill? Your bill includes both supply and delivery charges. Supply charges consist of the total amount of energy used within a billing cycle. Delivery charges from your local utility reflect the total cost of delivering power to your address, which includes the cost of maintaining the infrastructure. Because commercial energy procurement involves multiple moving parts, many businesses partner with a broker to simplify the process, reduce risk, and avoid costly mistakes.

Frequently Asked Questions About Energy Shopping in Pennsylvania
How long will switching to a new supplier take?
It may take one to two billing cycles for the switch to a new supplier to take effect, but the switching process itself is very simple when you partner with a broker like Integrity Energy.
Is there a limit to how often I can switch PA electrical suppliers?
There is no limit on how many times you can change electrical suppliers. However, most supplier contracts include early cancellation fees. So, before making the switch, it’s important you know the fees and if you’re willing to pay them.
