Since then, more than 500,000 residents in Pennsylvania have taken advantage of the deregulated gas market.

What is energy deregulation?
When you look at your natural gas bill, you’ll see that it contains two main sections: distribution (also sometimes listed as delivery charges) and supply charges. Your local utility company is in charge of the distribution of natural gas through pipelines. The supply portion of your bill, usually shown as the price per Mcf or Ccf, is charged by the supplier. Natural gas suppliers in Pennsylvania compete for your business by offering unique energy plans for consumers. Enter your ZIP code above to explore what’s available in your area.
What is the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission?
The Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission (PPUC) was established in 1937 and oversees the competitive natural gas market in the state. The PPUC certifies natural gas suppliers in Pennsylvania to ensure they each meet strict requirements for doing business in the state. The PPUC also offers PA Gas Switch, which is an online tool that allows consumers to compare their natural gas options.
