FirstEnergy Pennsylvania Electric Co Electricity Rate per kWh (2024 EIA Data)
Investor Owned|EIA utility 66101|Pennsylvania + 1 more|Bundled + Delivery
In 2024, FirstEnergy Pennsylvania Electric Co's residential customers paid an average of 17.37 cents per kWh: $2,616 million of revenue over 15.06 million MWh of sales across 1,464,054 bundled residential customers, plus 338,558 delivery-only residential accounts that buy their energy elsewhere, as reported to EIA on Form 861.
How the 17.37c figure is calculated
17.37c/kWh = $2,615,651k revenue / 15,056,029 MWh x 100. This is EIA's average realised price for 2024: everything FirstEnergy Pennsylvania Electric Co billed its residential customers (energy, delivery, fuel and rider charges, fixed charges) divided by the kilowatt-hours it sold. It is not a tariff rate, and a 2024 annual average will differ from a current bill. For a 1,000 kWh month at this average, the energy cost works out to about $174 before taxes.
About FirstEnergy Pennsylvania Electric Co's 2024 electricity prices
FirstEnergy Pennsylvania Electric Co is an investor-owned electric utility that reports to the U.S. Energy Information Administration under utility number 66101. In 2024 it served 1,464,054 bundled residential customers in Pennsylvania (its largest state of 2) (plus 338,558 delivery-only residential accounts that buy their energy from a competitive supplier), and its average realised residential price was 17.37 cents per kWh: $2,616 million of residential revenue divided by 15.06 million MWh of residential sales.
Across the other sectors, FirstEnergy Pennsylvania Electric Co's 2024 average prices were 15.17 cents for commercial customers (170,218 accounts), 8.93 cents for industrial customers (629 accounts), and 9.30 cents for transportation customers (1 accounts). Industrial customers paid 8.44 cents less per kWh than households, a 49% discount that is typical of high-volume, high-voltage service. Pennsylvania allows retail choice, so the customer base splits two ways: 1,464,054 residential customers took bundled service (energy plus delivery) at 17.37 cents per kWh, while 338,558 bought their energy from a competitive supplier and paid FirstEnergy Pennsylvania Electric Co only for delivery, which averaged 7.16 cents per kWh for the wires portion.
Within Pennsylvania, FirstEnergy Pennsylvania Electric Co ranked number 1 of 19 utilities with bundled or delivery service by residential accounts served (1,802,612, bundled plus delivery-only) and accounted for 34.18% of the state's residential electricity sales in 2024, measured in MWh sold or delivered rather than in customers. The state-wide average realised residential price in 2024, computed from the same EIA file, was 17.77 cents per kWh, so FirstEnergy Pennsylvania Electric Co's customers paid 0.40 cents below the Pennsylvania average (-2.3%). For context, EIA's latest monthly figure for Pennsylvania is 21.73 cents per kWh (June 2026, Electric Power Monthly); that is a different, more recent measure across all utilities and is not directly comparable with a 2024 annual average.

Final 2024 file f8612024.zip (released 3 December 2025) from the EIA-861 detailed data files.

Method: cents per kWh = revenue (thousand dollars) divided by sales (megawatthours), times 100. Customer counts, sales and revenue are the utility's own annual survey responses by state and sector. Bundled = energy plus delivery from one utility; delivery-only = the wires charge for customers who buy energy from a competitive supplier; energy-only = a competitive supplier's energy charge without delivery. County lists come from the EIA-861 Service Territory file; territory centroids used for "nearby utilities" are unweighted means of Census 2023 county centroids.
