    What is the Price to Compare (PTC)? for Columbus

    The Price to Compare is the price the utility pays generator companies for electricity. It includes the price to generate the electricity, as well as the cost to transmit it over high voltage transmission power lines to your home.

    In Pennsylvania, the PTC rates are set by holding auctions 4 times per year: March 1, June 1, September 1, and December 1. As a result, PTC rates change every three months. Additionally, when the auctions are over, the PA PUC must approve the prices for both the generation supply and transmission.
