Energy Supplier for Homestead Businesses
Homestead's Eighth Avenue business district and the Waterfront retail complex (which straddles Homestead and West Homestead) create one of the Mon Valley's biggest commercial demand centers. Duquesne Light and Peoples Gas handle delivery.
Commonwealth Utilities is based at 322 N Shore Dr in Pittsburgh and treats your Homestead building as one account, not two commodities. The free Level-1 audit looks at kWh waste, therm waste, and the rate structure of both — and recommends the combined supplier agreement that makes sense for your facility.

Supplier Questions — Homestead
What does an energy supplier do for a business in Homestead?
An energy supplier like Commonwealth Utilities sells the electricity and natural gas commodity used by a Homestead commercial facility. Duquesne Light Company continues to deliver electricity and Peoples Natural Gas continues to deliver natural gas — only the generation/supplier line on the bill changes.
How does an electricity supplier beat the Duquesne Light Company Price to Compare for Homestead businesses?
Duquesne Light Company's Price to Compare reflects short-term wholesale procurement for default service customers. A competitive electricity supplier can hedge Homestead commercial kWh load on longer-term wholesale contracts and pass the fixed rate through — typically beating the PTC on a fixed-rate term.
Why lock a natural gas supplier rate before winter in Homestead?
Natural gas wholesale prices and the Peoples Natural Gas purchased gas cost rate both tend to climb into heating season. For Homestead commercial facilities with substantial heating or process-heat load, a fixed per-Mcf supplier agreement locked before November insulates Q1 bills from those seasonal spikes.
Does switching suppliers in Homestead disrupt service or emergency response?
No. Duquesne Light Company continues to deliver electricity and respond to outages, and Peoples Natural Gas continues to deliver natural gas and respond to leak calls, regardless of your supplier choice. Switching is a billing change only.
Is the free Level-1 audit for Homestead businesses really free?
Yes. The Level-1 audit is offered to any Homestead commercial facility with no obligation to sign a supplier agreement. The audit identifies where the building is wasting energy on both the electric and natural gas side, which is what lets Commonwealth Utilities quote a supplier that actually fits.
Which Allegheny County utilities deliver energy in Homestead?
Duquesne Light Company is the electric distribution utility and Peoples Natural Gas is the natural gas distribution utility for Homestead. Both are regulated by the Pennsylvania PUC. Supplier competition happens only on the generation/commodity portion of the bill.
