You are shopping for the company that supplies your electric generation. There are three parts to electric service: generation, transmission and distribution. Generation is the production of electricity.

Yes, your local utility company, the Electric Distribution Company (EDC), will remain the same, but your monthly electricity bill will come from Anthracite Power and Light. An example of an EDC in various parts of Pennsylvania is PPL. These utilities are responsible for transmission and delivering your electricity. This transmission is the movement of electricity from where it is produced to a local distribution system. Distribution is the delivery of purchased power to the customer. All are regulated by the Public Utility Commission to ensure safety and reliability of your electric service.

There is no new meter installed and the electricity is delivered over the same poles and wires as always.

Our local affiliate generates the electricity that we sell, which means we do not have to purchase electricity from a broker or reseller. We pass these savings on to you. The price to compare is the price per kilowatt-hour, not your total electric bill. Your bill will always include PPL Electric Utilities charges for delivering your monthly service, distribution charges.

One. Our energy will be billed on the same bill as your distribution charges from PPL.
