This research brief discusses recent increases in electricity prices for Pennsylvania residential consumers. The average price to compare for residential customers increased by 15% for the year (through November 2026), compared to 2025. Recent increases were largely driven by higher wholesale energy costs. Distribution upgrades and subsequent rate increases and surcharges have also led to higher average prices.
