JCP&L CUSTOMERS: This table summarizes 100% renewable electricity as of 6/22/2021 in zipcode 07748.
 Prices are in cents per kilowatt-hours, and should be compared to JCP&L "Price to Compare" explained in the left “Messages” column of your JCP&L bill.

JCP&L "Price to Compare" is 9.6520 cents/kwh, "winter" 10/1/2021 to 5/31/2022; 8.82 cents/kwh "summer" (average customer 667 Kwh/month) 6/1/2021-10/1/2021
