At every address we sampled across Erie, electricity is delivered by Pennsylvania Electric Company, better known as PENELEC. They run the local lines, restore power after storms, and handle your meter. Because Pennsylvania has retail choice, you can also pick a separate electricity supplier through PA Power Switch, while PENELEC still takes care of delivery no matter which supplier you choose. Confirm your specific address with the lookup before you set anything up.
Natural gas in Erie came back as National Fuel at every address we sampled across the city. They deliver the gas, maintain the pipes, and are who you call for a leak or a smell of gas. Pennsylvania also runs gas retail choice, so you can shop for a separate gas supplier through PA Gas Switch while National Fuel keeps handling delivery and safety. Since coverage can vary right at the edges of town, check your address with the lookup.
Both water and sewer service in Erie came back as the Erie City Water Authority across the addresses we sampled. Unlike electricity and gas, water and sewer aren't part of Pennsylvania's retail-choice program, so there's no separate supplier to shop. The authority handles the service directly. If your address sits near the city line or out in a township, don't assume the same setup applies; run the lookup to confirm before you turn anything on.
86% of Erie electric checks pointed to Pennsylvania Electric Company - PENELEC, making it the clear local answer.
The fastest path: look up the address, then open accounts in the checklist order. Electric first when timing is tight.
