Pepco MD Electric Rates.

Utilities and suppliers make up your energy market in Maryland. The deregulated energy market in the state prevents monopolies in utilities by driving competition for energy supply. Consumers then have the options of choosing who supplies their power based on the market and locks in a contract. The market changes daily, which means that rates change based on supply and demand. To ensure your bottom line is not affected by the energy market, it’s best to lock in a fixed rate agreement with a third party supplier.

Utilities like Pepco MD deliver the energy suppliers provide. With vast networks of distribution and transmission lines, utilities ensure your home or business has the energy you pay for. If you live in Pepco’s service area, they’re your first point of contact for power line issues or outages.

In Maryland, utilities include a Price to Compare (PTC) on your energy bill. In Pepco, they refer to it as the Standard Offer Service (SOS). This excludes your distribution charges from Pepco. Because they adjust their supply rates monthly, it can make budgeting tough. You’ll notice there is also a Procurement Cost Adjustment (PCA) included in the Price to Compare. This is to account for market changes as they try to predict the supply charges and then adjust based on actual numbers either with a credit or charge based on the current market. To understand what the current price to compare rate is in Pepco, please refer back to your most recent bill copy.
