Pennsylvania runs on the two-company model twice over: PPL Electric and the other regional utilities own the wires and restore the outages, while you're free to shop for the electricity supply itself, and the same split applies to natural gas, where Philadelphia's city-owned gas works makes the story even more local. Water can be a city department, an authority, or one of the country's oldest private water companies, depending on the block. Your address decides every layer.

Pennsylvania deregulated the energy itself but not the delivery. Your electric distribution company. PECO around Philadelphia, Duquesne Light in Pittsburgh, PPL, Met-Ed or Penelec across the rest. Is fixed by address: it owns the poles, connects the meter and answers outage calls no matter what. The supplier on your bill is yours to choose or to leave as the utility's default rate; either way the delivery company stays the same.
Natural gas works the same way, a fixed delivery utility plus an optional supplier choice, with one twist worth knowing: in Philadelphia the gas utility is PGW, the largest city-owned gas works in the country. And don't assume water follows the pattern: Pennsylvania mixes city departments, regional authorities and private water companies street by street, which is exactly why the address-level lookup beats any city summary.
Your delivery utility is fixed by territory. PECO in the Philadelphia area, Duquesne Light in Pittsburgh, and PPL, Met-Ed or Penelec across most other cities. That's who connects service and fixes outages. Whether you also pick a separate supplier is up to you; delivery doesn't change either way. The lookup tells you which company holds your address.
No. Shopping is allowed, not required. If you do nothing, you get your utility's default service rate. If you do shop, only the supply line of your bill changes; your delivery utility, your meter and the number you call in an outage all stay the same.
