Rate cases in Pennsylvania

PECO Withdrawn
About +$15/month on a typical bill. PECO filed on March 30, 2026 for a $429.1 million (about 9.3% of total revenue) electric distribution increase, which would have raised the average residential electric bill about $20.08 per month (12.5%) starting in 2027 for poles, wires, transformers, storm-response technology and grid reliability; a companion $81.3 million gas case was filed the same day. After pushback from customers and state leaders PECO petitioned to withdraw both cases in May 2026; its prior 2024 settlement had barred a new filing before March 16, 2026.
PPL Electric Utilities Approved
About +$7/month on a typical bill. PPL Electric filed Aug. 29, 2025 for about $356.3 million more per year in distribution revenue, which would have raised a 918 kWh residential bill from $177.01 to $189.40 (7%) for reliability, customer service and EV programs. The PUC approved a settlement on June 4, 2026 for about $275 million with the same customer's bill rising to $184.49 (4.9%, +$7.48) effective July 1, 2026, plus more LIURP funding and annual reliability reports; scaled to 1,000 kWh the increase is about $8.15.
FirstEnergy Pennsylvania (Met-Ed / Penelec / Penn Power / West Penn) Approved
About +$6/month on a typical bill. FirstEnergy Pennsylvania (Met-Ed, Penelec, Penn Power, West Penn) asked the PUC in April 2024 for about $502 million more per year in distribution revenue; the PUC approved a settlement on Nov. 21, 2024 cutting it to about $225 million, with rates effective Jan. 1, 2025. For a 1,000 kWh residential customer the monthly change was +$3.49 (1.9%) in Met-Ed, +$8.33 (4.1%) in Penelec, +$8.13 (4.5%) in Penn Power and +$9.70 (6.2%) in West Penn; the 7.41 figure is the simple average of the four districts and the 4.2% is the average percent. No new FirstEnergy PA base rate case was filed through October 2026.
