Updated Cost of Renewable Energy in Western PA

According to a Pittsburgh Post Gazette article written on October 12, 2005, electricity purchased from Community Energy, the only remaining provider of renewable energy in Western PA after Green Mountain went out of business last October, costs 2.5 cents more per kilowatt hour over what Duquesne Light charges. According to Duquesne Light's most recent tarriff on its website, it currently charges 9.62 cents per kilowatt hour. This would mean that Community Energy is charging 12.12 cents per kilowatt hour, or 26% more than Duquesne Light.
