When energy supplier offers show up, it's tempting to want to enroll. But for households already struggling to keep up with utility bills, the wrong choice can make things worse. Variable rates can spike without warning, “teaser” prices can expire, and contract terms can be hard to understand.

Join Elizabeth Marx, Executive Director of the Pennsylvania Utility Law Project (PULP) to get a practical look at the risks of shopping for electric and gas suppliers. We’ll explain how supplier offers work, the red flags to watch for, and what protections and resources are available if something goes wrong.

On Friday, October 2nd, the Pennsylvania Office of Consumer Advocate (OCA) filed an affirmative complaint against PPL Electric, where the vast majority of data centers in Pennsylvania are currently proposed to be built. OCA’s actions will help protect Pennsylvania families from increasing energy costs and the risk of future blackouts due to the rapid development of hyperscale data centers. The Pennsylvania Utility Law Project (PULP) applauds the OCA for taking proactive action to shield Pennsylvanians from further economic harm and to address acute public safety risks associated with data center development. PULP plans to intervene in this case on behalf of our low income clients, CAUSE-PA.
