How PECO’s plans work

R (Residential Service). One price per kWh at every hour, all year: 22.0¢. Shifting use to other hours changes nothing on this plan; using less is the only lever. Fixed charge: $11.33 a month.

R-TOU (Residential Time-of-Use). Mid-peak 6 am–2 pm, Peak 2 pm–6 pm, Mid-peak 6 pm–12 am on July weekdays; 4 of 24 hours carry the top price of 42.7¢. The cheapest July weekday hour costs 17.0¢, so moving 1 kWh out of the top hours saves 25.7¢. January weekdays range from 17.0¢ to 42.7¢. Weekends follow a different schedule from weekdays. Fixed charge: $11.33 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, PECO billed its residential customers an average of 16.16¢ 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 Pennsylvania’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.
