Pennsylvania Electric Rate Increase, Met-Ed by 4%, West Penn by 5%

Households serviced by Met-Ed and West Penn will find themselves paying more for electricity as the year ends. This comes as a result of the new tariffed residential PTC-Default rates that the FirstEnergy Pennsylvania utilities filed with the Pennsylvania PUC. The new rates will cover a three-month period that commences on December 1, 2021.  

The PTC-Default rates refer to the all-in default service rates, excluding the application of the State Tax Adjustment Surcharge, which stands at 0% at the moment. The new PTCs have yet to be posted.  

Awaiting approval from the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission, the tariffed rates filed by the utilities are as follows:  

For Met-Ed customers, the current tariffed residential PTC-Default rate of $0.07114 per kWh will rise by 4%, which translates into $0.07414 per kWh.
