The Avondale phone number belongs to Shipley Energy. I received two calls just 10 minutes apart.
When Shipley calls, Do NOT give them your name!
DEMAND than they REMOVE your phone number from their list.
LOOK at the “Message Center” on the first page of your PECO bill.. Note: ‘Your electric price to compare is….per KWh. This may change in March, June, September and December…

There is a Consumer alert on the PAPowerSwitch website: “As of December 1, 2015, customers of PPL, PECO, Met-Ed, Duquesne Light, UGI, West Penn Power, Penelec, Penn Power and Pike County Light and Power will see the price to compare change. As you shop, consider the differences between fixed and variable rates.”
This is why the alternative companies are calling and explaining that PECO will still be sending you your electric bill, and while PECO will tell you that you have the option to change companies, they will not tell you more. Obviously, that is not true.
Make sure the Distribution and/or Transmission charges DO NOT list an energy company. If you’ve always used PECO, and NEVER authorized an alternative source, there will be no company name there.
