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 16.58¢ per kWh in 2024 (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.
