Abstract
⺠We analyze introduction of retail competition in Pennsylvania's electricity sector. ⺠We evaluate what characteristics influence consumers to switch electric providers. ⺠Higher usage and electric heat influence customers to switch and to do so faster. ⺠More variable usage and being new to service area deter switching. ⺠High poverty rates induce switching; older communities no less likely to switch.
