How Pylon lowers your Washington DC electric bill

Washington DC deregulated electricity supply in 2001 under the Electric Restructuring Act of 1999. you can choose any licensed competitive supplier instead of staying on Pepco's Standard Offer Service rate.
Your utility (Pepco) still delivers power and sends your monthly bill. That never changes.
Pepco's Standard Offer Service (SOS) rate is the default for customers who do not choose a competitive supplier. Competing suppliers can often offer lower fixed rates than that default..
We make this simple by automatically switching you to the best rate when there is one available.

Still HaveA Question?

Yes. Washington DC has had competitive electricity supply since 2001 under the Electric Restructuring Act of 1999. You can pick any licensed competitive supplier or stay on Pepco's Standard Offer Service (SOS). Pylon makes the choice automatic by monitoring every available supplier rate and enrolling you in the cheapest one.

Yes. Pepco is the electricity utility serving Washington DC, and Pylon serves Pepco customers throughout the District.

Pylon serves DC, DE, IL, MA, ME, NH, NJ, NY, OH, and PA. If you move within those states, just email us your new address and account number.

Log into your utility account and look under account details or check a recent bill. It's printed on your electric bill.

Energy suppliers compete for customers in certain states. Pylon monitors all available supplier rates and enrolls you in the lowest one, the same rates available to anyone, just automatically found for you.

We only work with licensed, vetted energy suppliers approved by your state's utility commission. These suppliers are required to meet strict standards and are monitored for fair practices.

Pylon works differently than a comparison site. Instead of asking you to pick from a list of rates, we automatically find and secure the best available electricity supplier rate in your area on your behalf. You don't need to evaluate options or constantly be returning to shop and switch rates. We handle it and notify you when a switch is made. The electricity supplier rates available in your area change frequently, and Pylon monitors them continuously so you're always on the best one.

No, Pylon changes your supplier at your next meter date. Your utility continues to deliver the electricity as usual.

After a new rate is submitted, you'll receive an email with your plan's details (rate, supplier, duration), and your service will continue without any interruption. You'll still receive the same bill from your utility.

This varies by utility, but typically you'll see the change within 1-2 billing cycles.

Changing your electricity provider back to your utility is simple. You can switch back at any time, but we recommend you wait for your supplier term to end if there are early termination fees in the contract.

When you secure a new supply rate, an energy supplier gets a new customer. They pay us a referral fee from their marketing budget. No hidden costs, no credit cards, no fees. It's one of the easiest ways to lower your electric bill without changing anything about how your electricity works.

No worries! If you move, your contract will automatically end without any fees. If you'd like to continue service at your new address, simply email [email protected] with your new account number and address.

Just shoot us an email to [email protected]. You can usually expect a response within 1-2 business days.
