When shopping for an
Electric Generation
Supplier, it's easy to
compare prices using our
Monthly Savings
Calculator. Here's the
information you'll need to
make your comparison:
Your Duquesne Light
price to compare
The average amount
of electricity your
household uses in a
month
Price from new
supplier in cents per
kWh
Any other monthly
fees associated with
the service
Input your electric
distribution company's
price to compare on
the line shown in the
chart. For most residential Duquesne Light customers, this is 8.54
cents per kWh.
Input the New
Supplier's Price for
comparison. Call
electric generation
suppliers to find out
what price they are
offering for electric
generation. (Click here

questions to ask
suppliers.) Click "Calculate"
to find out what your
savings may be.
Input the average
number of
kilowatt-hours your
household uses in a
month on the line
below savings. (You
can find usage
information on your
electric bill.) Click "Calculate"
to determine your
monthly savings.
But there's one more
step. Some suppliers
charge a monthly fee
in addition to the
charge for generation.
If the supplier
charges a fee, type in
the charge on the line
that says "Monthly
Fee?" If the
supplier does not
charge a fee, put a
zero on this line.

to find out what your "Final
Monthly Savings"
may be.
