Watch the edges

Our sampled providers hold across Scranton, but the boroughs ringing it, Dunmore, Taylor, Dickson City, Moosic, can land on different water or sewer systems, and electric or gas territory lines don't always stop at the city border. Out in unincorporated Lackawanna County, assume nothing until you run the lookup.

Scranton utility questions, answered

Who is my electric company in Scranton?

For every Scranton address we sampled, PPL Electric is the utility that runs the lines and restores power after an outage. Pennsylvania is a choice state, so PPL always handles delivery, but you can pick which company supplies your electricity through PA Power Switch, or do nothing and stay on PPL's default utility rate. Report outages to PPL no matter which supplier you chose.

Do I get to choose my electricity supplier in Scranton?

For electricity, yes. Pennsylvania runs a retail-choice market for power, so PPL Electric still delivers to your home and fixes the lines, but the supply portion of your electric bill is yours to shop. Compare offers at PA Power Switch, or do nothing and stay on PPL's standard default supply. Natural gas isn't part of that here: UGI simply delivers it.

How do I set up water and sewer when I move to Scranton?

Across the Scranton addresses we sampled, Pennsylvania American Water provides both the drinking water and the sewer service, so you'd contact them to start service in your name. That's not guaranteed once you cross into the surrounding boroughs, where water and sewer can change hands entirely.
