PPL Electric Utilities customers in Pennsylvania face two rate increases this summer.
The default electricity supply rate will rise by 1.5% on June 1.
Delivery charges will increase on July 1.
This delivery hike is the first for PPL customers since 2016.
The July adjustment adds about $7.42 to a typical residential monthly bill.
Surging electricity demand from new AI data centers in PPL's territory drives these increases.
A regulatory settlement established a new "large load" rate class to protect residential and commercial customers from these infrastructure costs.
This structure requires data centers to pay for the grid upgrades they necessitate.
