FirstEnergy Pennsylvania Electric Company

FirstEnergy's Pennsylvania utilities (Met-Ed, Penelec, Penn Power, and West Penn Power, now a single legal entity) offer an optional Time-of-Use generation rate with three windows. On-Peak runs 2pm to 9pm on weekdays. Off-Peak covers 6am to 2pm and 9pm to 11pm on weekdays plus all weekend hours. Super Off-Peak runs 11pm to 6am every day and is the window the utility specifically promotes for EV charging. The rate you pay in each window is your current Price-to-Compare multiplied by a period-specific multiplier, so the dollar value of TOU shifts every six months as the PTC resets.

Because Pennsylvania is a deregulated supply market, the TOU rate only governs FirstEnergy's default generation service. If you shop with a third-party supplier, the supplier sets your supply rate and TOU does not apply. FirstEnergy's Pennsylvania EV hub does not currently advertise a residential Level 2 charger rebate; the company proposed an EV pilot with home-charger installation rebates in its 2024 base rate case, but that pilot was not specifically announced as approved in the November 2024 settlement order. Third-party aggregator pages that quote a $250 FirstEnergy charger rebate do not link to a FirstEnergy program page.

The four legacy brands still appear on customer bills and outreach materials. Rate unification across the four legacy districts is scheduled to occur over three future base rate cases or ten years, whichever comes first. Until then, the Price-to-Compare, the TOU multipliers, and the distribution charges differ between Met-Ed territory (eastern PA), Penelec territory (northern and western PA), Penn Power (western PA), and West Penn Power (southwestern PA), so two FirstEnergy customers on the same TOU plan can pay different cents per kWh.
