Pennsylvania electric bills are going up. Pennsylvania families and businesses are frustrated by rising electricity costs and are looking for cheaper, faster, and more efficient solutions that put families in control.
New legislation could help. A new bill would direct Pennsylvania utilities to use flexible resources found in local homes and businesses to keep the lights on and lower costs for everyone. Pennsylvania is already home to networks of community-based and individually-owned technologies – technologies like EV chargers, batteries, heat pumps, and smart thermostats. When coordinated together, these resources can provide reliable energy comparable to traditional power plants – but at a lower cost to you.
A new bill in the state legislature (HB 2264) would make electricity more affordable in two ways. One, it would reduce the need for costly electricity from traditional power plants, making bills more affordable for everyone.
Two, if you choose to provide power to the grid using your devices (like those in the “Why it Matters” section), you will receive payments from the utility.
Whether you choose to participate in the program or not, this bill means big savings for everyone in the state!
