Who is my electric company in Pennsylvania?

Type the five digits. The finder names your company, gives its outage phone number, and shows its price to compare as of the date under the tool. If your ZIP is split, it shows each company, so you can match the name on your bill.

This names the company that usually delivers power to your ZIP code. It is not an address check. The name on your bill always wins, and a few boroughs run their own system that this list may not know.

Pennsylvania's big companies each cover a region. The PUC lists eleven electric companies. Eight are large and three are small. This table shows each one's main area, who to call when the lights go out, and the price it charges if you pick no supplier.

The phone numbers are the outage and downed-line numbers on the PUC's own list, read Oct. 25, 2026. Met-Ed, Penelec, Penn Power and West Penn Power are four FirstEnergy companies, so they share one outage number. PECO is part of Exelon. The prices are the ones PA Power Switch showed on October 24, 2026. Our price to compare guide has the next change dates.

Your electric company, also called your utility, delivers the power. A supplier sells the energy. A home that picks a supplier pays two companies. A home that does not pays only its utility, which sells the energy at the price to compare.

Call your electric company for an outage, a meter problem or a downed line. Call your supplier about a contract, a price or a cancel fee. The PUC says your utility always remains your delivery company, even after you switch.

A ZIP code is a mail route. It is not a utility map. Where two companies meet, one ZIP can hold homes from both, and the line between them can run down a street. A neighbor can have a different company than you.

On Oct. 25, 2026 we typed test ZIPs into the PUC's own lookup on PA Power Switch. For 16101 in New Castle, it asked us to choose between Penelec and Penn Power. For 19601 in Reading, it offered Met-Ed and PPL. Both are real splits, not mistakes.

1. Look at the top of your billThe company name and logo are there. This is the answer.
2. Match it to a cardThe finder above shows a card for each company that touches your ZIP.
3. Still not sure? Call the PUCThe PUC's consumer line is 1-800-692-7380.
4. Or ask the companyGive each candidate your street address. The one that serves it will say so.

It depends on who owns the wires. If your company is on the PUC's list of eleven, you can pick a supplier. Rural electric co-ops and utilities run by a city, a borough or a township are not under the PUC, and the PUC has no say over their service.

The finder marks each company by type. If your bill comes from a co-op or a town, the offers on PA Power Switch will not apply to you. Ask your co-op or borough office what it offers.

A ZIP code gets you close. Your address gets you exact. These are the checks, from fastest to surest.

1. 1
   Read your bill.

   The company named at the top, or on the delivery charges, is your electric company.

2. 2
   Use the finder above.

   It names each company that touches your ZIP and shows a card for each.

3. 3
   Check with the PUC.

   Type your ZIP into the lookup on PA Power Switch. It is the state's own tool, and it asks you to choose when a ZIP is split.

4. 4
   Call the company.

   Give your street address. This is the only check that settles a street where two companies meet.

If you are moving, ask the new owner or the landlord for a recent bill. Or call the company you think serves the address and ask for its start-service line.

Your company's price to compare is the number every supplier offer has to beat. Write it down. Then test each offer, fees included, against it.

When you pick a supplier, your electric company still reads your meter, fixes your lines and sends or shares your bill. A switch usually takes about three business days after your utility is told. The PUC's rules give you three business days to cancel after you get the written terms.

The ZIP list comes from public service-territory data. The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) collects which utilities serve which counties. The U.S. National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) matched that data to ZIP areas. That is the 2020 edition, the newest one NREL has posted. We turned it into a small file and kept the script that builds it.

A ZIP-area match is not a street map, so it lists every company that touches the ZIP. That is why many Pennsylvania ZIPs show more than one name. Most of the extras are tiny edges where one company's area barely crosses the ZIP line.

We checked it. On Oct. 25, 2026 we typed 17 Pennsylvania ZIP codes into the PUC's own lookup. For 16 of them our list held the same company, or both when the PUC asked you to choose. For 16101 it missed Penelec, so we fixed it by hand. Those 17 answers now override the raw data, and we add to them as we check more.

What this finder does not know: a borough that runs its own electric system, a new ZIP code, and a street where two companies meet. The name on your bill beats every list, ours included. The phone numbers and company names come from the PUC's own list. The prices come from PA Power Switch and move on their own.
