Pepco (District of Columbia) rates

Pepco has one residential plan modeled here. A typical District of Columbia home using 635 kWh a month pays about $157 a month.

District of Columbia has retail choice. Prices on this page are all-in: Pepco’s delivery charges plus its default supply (the rate you pay if you have not chosen a supplier, often called the “price to compare”). If you buy supply from a retail supplier, Pepco still bills delivery and the supplier’s price replaces the supply part, so the supply rate alone is well below the all-in price shown here.

Pepco: questions

Does Pepco have peak hours?

Not on the plans modeled here: Schedule R charges the same price per kWh at every hour, so when you use power does not change the bill.

How Pepco’s plans work

Schedule R (Residential Service). In July the first 30 kWh a month cost 19.2¢ each; then 20.7¢ above 30 kWh a month, then 24.3¢ above 400 kWh a month. An average District of Columbia home (827 kWh in July) goes past the first tier, so extra load such as an EV is priced higher. Fixed charge: $18.09 a month.

Prices on this page are all-in per kWh, before taxes: base rates, supply and every per-kWh rider in the utility’s current tariff sheets. Your bill shows them as separate lines, and riders can change between tariff revisions.

As a cross-check, Pepco billed its residential customers an average of 20.77¢ per kWh in 2025 (revenue ÷ sales, EIA-861). A plan taken from URDB is shown only if its all-in price is consistent with that figure, adjusted for District of Columbia’s price change since.

Sources for each plan

Plans marked “Checked” were transcribed from the utility’s current tariff and rider sheets, all charges included, and are re-checked on the date shown in each file. Other plans come from the OpenEI U.S. Utility Rate Database (CC BY 4.0) and have not yet been checked line by line against the utility’s tariff. Always confirm the current rates on your utility’s website before switching plans.
