Customer Education

Helping PECO customers manage
changing times

Beginning January 1, 2011, the prices PECO and our customers pay for electricity will be based on electric market pricing. Gas and electricity will cost customers more. At the same time, PECO’s operational costs have increased.

PECO has requested Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission approval to increase electric delivery rates and natural gas delivery rates beginning January 1, 2011.  The first electric delivery rate request since 1989 and only the second natural gas delivery rate request in 20 years, the increases will ensure PECO is able to continue to meet customer demand and ensure the safe and reliable delivery of electricity and natural gas.

As part of our ongoing commitment to keep customers informed, I would like to welcome you to www.peco.com/know, a site dedicated to keeping you “in the know” about the transition from capped electric rates to electric rates based on market prices. 

Because energy prices have gone up during the more than 10 years electricity prices have been capped in Pennsylvania, PECO’s rates, beginning in January 2011, will reflect those rising prices. We want to help you manage these rising costs.

We know change can be difficult, but to help ease the transition, we have created this Web site to provide tools and tips to help you use energy more efficiently and better manage your electric costs. Conservation is key.  And this site contains great information to help you conserve.

Our goal is to keep you in the know, so please explore this site and check back for exciting new ideas, programs and services as we near the final transition to market-based rates on Jan. 1, 2011.
