Pennsylvania Electricity Consumers Face Looming Bill Increase Amid Strained Infrastructure
Pennsylvania electricity consumers are facing a looming increase in their bills due to projected price surges over the next year, primarily driven by the retirement of older power generation facilities and strained infrastructure. As consumer demand remains high, the existing supply is being reduced, leading to anticipated rises in electricity costs that will disproportionately affect lower- and middle-income households, potentially resulting in accumulated debt and service disconnections unless addressed through strategic solutions such as expanding solar power generation and upgrading transmission infrastructure.
