Your utility — Duquesne Light — handles physical delivery of electricity to your building. The supply portion of your bill, where competition applies, is separate. That's where we operate: identifying which of 30+ licensed retail energy suppliers is pricing your load size and usage pattern most aggressively right now.

How the Pittsburgh Electricity Market Works

Duquesne Light serves Pittsburgh; separate from PECO pricing structure; strong competitive EGS market

Six EDCs (Electric Distribution Companies): PECO, PPL, West Penn Power, Duquesne Light, Met-Ed, Penelec

Pittsburgh businesses are part of the PJM territory. PJM manages wholesale electricity markets and system reliability. What happens in the wholesale market — capacity auctions, fuel costs, weather events — flows through to retail commercial rates. A broker tracks those conditions and advises on timing.

Current all-in commercial rates in Pittsburgh typically range 9–14 cents/kWh supply depending on load size, contract term, and market timing. Larger loads generally get more aggressive pricing because suppliers compete harder for them.

1. Pull your data — 12 months of interval usage from Duquesne Light. We handle the data request.
2. Submit to 30+ suppliers — Same usage profile to every active supplier in the Pittsburgh territory simultaneously.
3. Translate the offers — You get plain-English comparisons of each offer: price, term, demand treatment, renewal terms, ETF structure.
4. Execute and monitor — We handle contract paperwork and flag your renewal window 6–9 months out.

No cost. No commitment until you choose a supplier. Our fee comes from the supplier you select — standard in the industry and priced into every quote regardless of whether you use a broker.

Contract Structures for Pittsburgh Businesses

Three main pricing structures apply in the Pittsburgh market:

• Fixed-rate (12–36 months): Set price per kWh for the contract period. Best for budget certainty. Typical Pittsburgh range: 9–14 cents/kWh supply.
• Variable-rate: Floats with wholesale market each month. Lower in calm periods, but exposed to spikes. Generally not recommended for most commercial accounts.
• Indexed pricing: Priced against a published index (Day-Ahead market, NYMEX) plus a fixed adder. Transparent, but requires monitoring.
