Customers Who Shop for Energy Suppliers Pay More. Regulators Disagree on What the Numbers Mean

Spotlight PA is an independent, nonpartisan, and nonprofit newsroom producing investigative and public-service journalism that holds power to account and drives positive change in Pennsylvania. Sign up for our free newsletters . HARRISBURG — Faced with stark evidence that residents who shop for electricity suppliers pay higher bills and face more frequent shut-offs, Pennsylvania regulators approved a significant policy change sought by the state’s largest electric company. In a 3-2 vote in late October, the Public Utility Commission agreed to allow FirstEnergy Pennsylvania to limit suppliers’ access to its “purchase of receivables” program based on the prices they charge. But the commission rejected the utility’s attempt to prevent customers from being enrolled in new supplier contracts they have not actively chosen, instead ordering a statewide review of the issue. The split decision indicates regulators are open to new guardrails on retail suppliers — but only up to a point. A landmark state law passed in 1996 gave Pennsylvanians the ability to choose which company to buy their supply of electricity from: They can stay on the “default service” offered by their utility, or sign up with a different type of company — a retail electricity supplier. Under state law, utilities

Walk into a coffee shop in Williamsport or a boutique along Fourth Street, and the cash register still clicks the way it always has.

'Double the Moose, double the fun': Moose Too opens for teens, adults, and the playfully curious

Williamsport, Pa. — Williamsport's very own professional toy seller Nicole Desaulniers didn’t set out to open a second store, but she couldn't help but notice a gap that needed filled. After years of running The Mulberry Moose at 423 Mulberry Street, where Desaulniers has built a loyal following with carefully curated, “kid-powered” toys that big-box stores don’t carry, she kept running into the same problem at toy fairs: a growing category she simply didn’t have room for. That category is what the industry calls “kid-ult” — adults and older teens who collect figures, build models, chase blind boxes, and seek out playful, novelty items that spark joy and nostalgia. “I kept seeing it,” Desaulniers said. “These adults that are liking to collect and play and do kind of more kid things. And then there’s also the people that love playful things. It makes them happy.” She tried bringing some of it into the original Mulberry Moose, but space and demographic limits got in the way. “I just didn’t have enough room to really do it. And it’s not my main demographic at that store,” she explained. The main shop, which opened in June 2024 after Desaulniers moved from Delaware, where
