How ACE’s plans work

RS (Residential Service). In July the first 750 kWh a month cost 28.5¢ each; then 31.1¢ above 750 kWh a month. An average New Jersey home (1,036 kWh in July) goes past the first tier, so extra load such as an EV is priced higher. Fixed charge: $6.75 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, ACE billed its residential customers an average of 23.41¢ 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 New Jersey’s price change since.
