There's a reason Halloween feels like the unofficial kickoff to the holiday lighting season. Skeletons strung with fairy lights, jack-o'-lanterns flickering on porches, animatronic ghosts groaning from the bushes — it's one of the most decorated holidays of the year, and most of us never stop to think about what's actually powering the spookiness. But behind every glowing pumpkin and strobing porch light is a small, seasonal spike in energy demand that's worth understanding, especially if you want your decorations to be both dazzling and safe.
Pennsylvania’s deregulated market is a win-win for everyone involved because it produces competitive, low utility rates for residents, removes generation costs for utility companies, and stimulates the state’s business and financial growth.
Every fall, there's a specific week when the debate starts in households everywhere: is it time to flip the thermostat from cooling to heating? Mornings are chilly enough for a sweater, but afternoons still feel like summer's last stand. Flip too early and you're paying to heat a house that doesn't need it yet.

Doctors rely on healthcare facilities for a range of services, including surgery, exams, and mental health services for the people who need them. But doctors can only deliver that care when the facilities around them are running reliably. Without reliable and efficient energy, critical operations can falter — making it harder for doctors and care teams to be there for patients when their health needs them most.
Engineers are the foundational builders of modern society, translating theory into practice. Energy engineers, more specifically, optimize how power is produced and consumed—quite literally keeping the lights and heat on for millions of homes and businesses. Reliability like that depends on a steady pipeline of skilled engineers entering the field.
Throughout the academic year, educational institutions should regularly review and update their energy plan. Through energy planning, an educational institution can see how it buys, uses, and reduces energy across its locations. From there, an institution finds ways to cut costs and improve reliability.
Farmers have always found ways to work smarter with what they have. Early farmers learned to read the land, rotate crops, and build systems that could weather uncertainty. Today, that same ingenuity is being applied to one of agriculture's most pressing challenges: energy.
We are approaching the peak of hurricane season, which begs the question, is your business prepared? Hurricanes can cause power outages, supply disruptions, and operational headaches. While you can't control the weather, you can control how prepared your business is when it hits.
