Penn Power & solar.
A smaller FirstEnergy territory north of the city, including fast-growing Cranberry. It uses the same statewide net metering framework, with its own interconnection queue.
What you pay per kWh, and what your panels earn back.
Example residential rates. Supply rates reset every June 1 and December 1, so check your latest bill or the PUC's PAPowerSwitch site.
kWh for kWh
Each kWh you export offsets one kWh you import later, at the full retail rate, on the kWh-based parts of your bill.
Monthly carryover
Extra kWh roll forward month to month, so summer surplus covers the dark winter months.
Annual true-up
Each May 31, Penn Power pays out any leftover credit at the price to compare, which is less than retail. So don't oversize your system.
