There’s never been a more important time to take control of your energy bill.

With costs rising due to inflation, everyday things are costing a little bit more each month. And whether it’s gas, groceries, fast food or even your energy supply cost, now is the perfect time to check your usage and make a plan to save.

PPL Electric Utilities has numerous ways you can save yourself both energy and money, which will help to lessen the impact of the increase in energy supply costs. Plus, if you ever fall behind, we have multiple bill-assistance programs to help you get back on your feet.

To begin making your plan to save, it’s a good idea to find out how much electricity you’re already using.
