This opens Pennsylvania's electric generation service to competition. You have the opportunity to choose the company that generates your electricity.
Generation is the making of electricity.
Transmission is the moving of high voltage electricity from where it's produced to the point of distribution to customers. Distribution is the local wires, transformers, substations and other equipment used to deliver electricity to consumers from the high voltage transmission lines. Generation is the only part of your electric service that is competitive. Competition among generation supply companies should cause generation prices to decrease, saving you money. Charge to recover transition or stranded costs.
