Duquesne Light to supply businesses in 12 more counties

2 min read

PITTSBURGH – Duquesne Light Energy LLC said Tuesday it is expanding its retail electric supply to businesses in 12 Western Pennsylvania counties that are in the utility service territories of Penn Power and West Penn Power.

An unregulated subsidiary of Duquesne Light Holdings, DLE said in a news release its expansion was fueled by requests from existing customers in Allegheny and Beaver counties who wanted those contractual benefits extended to their other Western Pennsylvania locations.

“Since 2004, we’ve been a leading electricity supplier helping Pittsburgh area businesses minimize their operating costs through the benefits of the deregulated market,” said Cliff Blashford, president of Duquesne Light Energy. “We continue to experience high retention rates of customers in our primary footprint, and that supported the need for our regional expansion in Pennsylvania.”

Business and facility operators in 12 Pennsylvania counties are now able to select Duquesne Light Energy as their electricity supplier. The company’s service territory extends north to Butler, Lawrence and Mercer counties; south to Washington, Greene and Fayette counties; and east to Westmoreland and Armstrong counties.

DLE, an unregulated subsidiary of Duquesnet Light Co., also supplies several Central Pennsylvania areas, such as State College, St. Mary’s and Chambersburg. Duquesne Light Energy has served customers in Allegheny and Beaver counties since its inception.

The company said a recent drop in energy commodity prices has created a highly competitive electricity market, with customers having a choice of several suppliers.
