Where Sunnova sits
It is a smaller system, serving 10,759 residential customers, which means its fixed costs are spread across a narrow base. At 17.37¢ per kilowatt-hour it is one of the cheaper places to buy electricity in Pennsylvania, 19.4% under the statewide average of 21.55¢.
Consumption is close to the national norm at 873 kilowatt-hours a month against 871, so the rate translates fairly directly into the bill.
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.
