Penn Power ranks 2107th in the US for average monthly bill total. The provider currently does not generate their own electricity. Instead, they must purchase that electricity at wholesale prices from other suppliers and then resell it to end users.
Offering net metering to consumers is a win-win situation for Penn Power and individuals who get their electricity from the company. The purchase of solar panels and alternative electricity sources is often prohibitively priced for private individuals. Net metering allows purchasers of these electricity sources to sell extra wattage back to their electricity supplier, making the installation of these alternative sources more financially friendly.
Penn Power reported an annual loss of about 0.83% of the electricity that they produce. Loss of energy due to heat dissipation during electricity transmission and other causes is a reality of operating in the electricity generation industry and providers are required to report these losses. This percentage of electricity lost earns them a rank of 2nd best out of 116 providers reporting energy loss in the state.
