Pittsburgh customers with Duquesne Light delivery service can compare competitive supply offers with the utility’s Price to Compare. Use the utility and rate class on your bill; a nearby western Pennsylvania address may have a different utility.
Start with Duquesne Light’s Price to Compare
Duquesne Light’s customer-choice guide explains the supply benchmark and links to residential and business rates. Check the effective dates and your rate class. If you already use a competitive supplier, record that supplier’s price and fees as well.
The supply comparison is only part of a Pittsburgh electric bill. Keep delivery and other charges separate from the price you are shopping.
Match the offer to your Pittsburgh utility account
Use your service ZIP, utility and customer class in PA Power Switch. If your bill names another delivery utility, select that utility instead of assuming all Pittsburgh-area homes use the same offer list.
For a rental home, confirm that you hold the electric account. When a landlord includes electricity in rent, changing a supplier may not be a choice the tenant can make independently.
Work out the full cost before switching
Illustrative example: at 800 kWh, a 10¢/kWh offer with a $12 monthly fee costs $92 for supply. An 11¢ offer without that fee costs $88. Include all applicable fees and repeat at your seasonal usage before choosing. These examples exclude delivery and taxes and are not live offers.
Check the start date, term and cancellation fee, then save the agreement. Duquesne Light’s switching FAQ explains the utility’s process, including bills that cover a supplier change. Follow up if the first bill does not match your confirmed terms.
Pittsburgh electric rate FAQ
Must I choose a competitive supplier?
No. Duquesne Light provides default supply if you do not select a competitive supplier. Compare that option as well as outside offers.
Does a new supplier replace Duquesne Light?
No. For a Duquesne Light account, the utility continues to deliver electricity and maintain the meter and local network.
Is the lowest cents-per-kWh offer always cheapest?
No. Monthly fees, introductory terms, usage conditions and cancellation costs can change the comparison. Calculate the cost at your own usage.
