The Pennsylvania Office of Consumer Advocate has posted electric migration statistics as of January 1, 2011.

Pennsylvania Electric Migration as of January 1, 2011

For comparison, the October stats are available here.

Aside from PPL Electric, the stats represent completed switches.  At PPL, the stats include pending enrollments.

For those territories with rate caps which expired January 1, 2011, the only significant growth in migration (in terms of number of customers) reflected in completed switches as of January 1, 2011, is in the industrial class.

In terms of customers, industrial migration at the newly uncapped utilities since October 1, 2010 has grown from 1.8% to 25.8% at Met-Ed/Penelec, from 2.4% to 15.6% at West Penn Power (Allegheny), and from 0.3% to 7.9% at PECO.

While rate caps did not expire until January 1, 2011, bypassable residential rates at PECO did increase to essentially the current level (9¢ range) effective October 28.  Yet residential migration at PECO as of January 1, 2011 is only 16,737 customers (1.2%).  Enrollments can take 1-2 billing cycles.

For territories whose rate caps expired prior to 2011, the stats only reflect modest changes from October 1, 2010.

At PPL, residential migration is 429,994 customers, or 35.1%, versus 411,760 (33.6%) as of October 1.
