Paying your PPL electric bill is easy and convenient when you do it online. PPL offers several different payment options to fit your needs. In this article I’ll walk you through the step-by-step process for paying your PPL electric bill online.
Why Pay Online?
Online payment through PPL is better than mailing a check or paying in person in many ways.
- It’s fast and easy – takes just a few minutes
- Available 24/7 – pay anytime, anywhere
- Multiple payment options – credit/debit card, checking account, savings account

Paying online helps you avoid late fees, save time and gives you peace of mind knowing your payment was received.
Step 1: Log In To Your PPL Account
The first step is to log in to your PPL account online.
- Go to pplelectric.com and click “My Account” at the top right.
- Enter your username and password. If you don’t already have an account, you can sign up for one.
- Once logged in, you’ll see your account summary page.
Step 2: Select “Make Payment”
On your account summary page, select “Make Payment” to start the payment process.
This will take you to the payment page where you can enter your payment details.
Step 3: Enter Payment Information
On the payment page, enter the following:
- Payment amount – Your current bill amount will show by default. You can edit this if needed.
- Payment method – Choose whether to pay by credit/debit card, checking account or savings account.
- Account number – For card payments, enter your card number, expiration date and CVV code. For bank payments, enter your account number and routing number.
Be sure all payment information entered is accurate to avoid any issues processing your payment.
Step 4: Submit Payment
Once all fields are filled in, click “Continue” at the bottom of the page to review your payment details. Verify the amount and payment method are correct.
Check the box to authorize PPL to debit your account. Then click “Submit Payment” to complete the process.
Step 5: Get Payment Confirmation
After submitting, you’ll see a payment confirmation page with your payment details. This serves as your receipt showing the payment was made.
You’ll also get a confirmation email sent to the email address on your PPL account. Save this for your records.
And that’s it! By following these simple steps you can pay your PPL electric bill online quickly and hassle-free.
