What is the Atlantic City Electric Price to Compare?

The Price to Compare (PTC) is the default electricity supply rate charged by your New Jersey utility company to customers who have not chosen a third-party electricity provider. For residents receiving electricity under Atlantic City Electric the PTC is a bit more convoluted as there is more than one set price depending on your rate class, usage and time of year.

• Residential Service Rate: This rate class is divided into two usage types. One for home owners whose usage is 750 kWh per month or less and one for over 750 kWh per month.
• Electric Vehicle Residential Rate: This is for residents who own and charge an electric vehicle at their home. The rate is also usage based with one tier for usage 750 kWh per month and under, and a different rate for over 750 kWh per month.
• Time of Use Rate: Individuals can enroll in a time of use (TOU) and their rate varies by time of day. With peak usage hours being inflated and off peak hours below residential service rates.
• Time of Year: The last component of the Atlantic City Electric price to compare is the season. There are summer rates which run June-Septemeber and winter rates which are from October-May.

Understanding Your Atlantic City Electric Bill

There are three specific aspects of your electric bill that you should be familiar with.

1. Bill Details: Electric Delivery vs Supply

The bill details section lets you see a breakdown of your total electric bill and where your money is going. The two large categories that all charges fall under are delivery charges and supply charges.

• Delivery Charges: These charges support the delivery of electricity to your home and go to ACE. These charges do not change if you switch electricity providers.
• Electric Supply Charges: These charges are for the electricity you used and go to your electricity provider. These charges can vary depending on your electricity provider.

This is also the section to find your electricity supply rate which is what you use to compare electricity plans to determine the cheapest option for you. You can find this rate under “How we calculate this charge” in the Supply Charges section.

2. Your Account Number & Residential Service Number

Above the breakdown of your delivery charges on the second page, you can find your account number and your residential service number. If you plan on switching electricity providers, you will need one of these numbers to make the switch.

3. Usage History

On the right-hand side of the first page of your Atlantic City Electric bill, you will find your usage profile over the last 12 months. This shows you how much electricity you have used each month, and can be helpful when determining how much you may use in the future.
