A REPORT IN THE ALTOONA MIRROR SUGGESTS THAT THE POWER SUPPLIER ANNOUNCED THAT THE RATE FOR RESIDENTAIL ELECTRICTY USAGE DECREASED BEGINNING YESTERDAY FROM 6.5 CENTS PER KILOWATT HOUR TO 4.2 CENTS. THAT MEANS THAT AN AVERAGE RESIDENTIAL CUSTOMER WHO USES 750 KILOWATT HOURS EACH MONTH, WILL SEE A DROP IN THEIR BILLS OF ABOUT $2 PER MONTH. ACCORDING TO A PENELEC SPOKESMAN, THE DECREASE COINCIDES WITH LESS USAGE DURING MORE MODERATE WEATHER IN SPRINGTIME, WHEN LESS ENERGY IS REQUIRED TO HEAT HOMES DURING WINTER WEATHER. ALTOONA CUSTOMERS HAVE A CHOICE OF NEARLY 50 ENERGY PROVIDERS TO CHOOSE FROM.
