The PECO Wind program, which has allowed Philadelphia metropolitan area customers to select anywhere from 50% to 100% wind energy for their power source, will phase out January 2013.
On its website, PECO announces the termination of the program, and directs customers to the Pennsylvania Public Utilities Commission (PUC) website listing alternative energy suppliers for PA customers.
Since 2010, deregulation of the power supplier markets for Pennsylvania electricity consumers has resulted in many new alternative and renewable-energy suppliers offering a wide range of energy supply portfolios at competitive rates. Still, energy consumers have been conservative when it comes to switching suppliers, even in the face of major public outreach by consumer advocacy and environmental groups, aggressive marketing by alternative providers, and decisively lower rates from some. If conservative consumer habits left many on relatively expensive PECO wind power, PECO’s termination of the program will move them either onto the PECO default rate, or toward the better choice of an alternative provider that provides greener energy at the same price, or 100% renewable sources for only slightly more than the default rate PECO offers.
