Where FirstEnergy Pennsylvania Electric Co sits
It is a smaller system, serving 3,355 residential customers, which means its fixed costs are spread across a narrow base. At 15.14¢ per kilowatt-hour it is one of the cheaper places to buy electricity in New York, 49.4% under the statewide average of 29.93¢.
Consumption here is below the national norm at 751 kilowatt-hours a month against 871, which softens the effect of the rate on the final bill.
A shareholder-owned company whose rates are set by the state regulator, including an approved return on the capital it has invested. That matters because a bill is not only the cost of generating electricity: it also carries the cost of the network, and who owns that network changes how it is paid for.

Rooftop solar on this system
12 residential customers had net-metered solar in 2024, totalling 0.1 megawatts. That works out to 3.6 installations per thousand customers, against a median of 8 across the utilities reporting it.
Adoption is below the national median. A low retail rate reduces what solar displaces, and export compensation set at avoided cost rather than the retail rate reduces it further. What exports are actually worth.
