How PECO Energy Company and Retail Suppliers Work Together
PECO serves the Philadelphia metro — one of the largest commercial electricity markets in the PJM footprint.
PECO handles electricity and natural gas distribution. Electric generation supply is open to competition from licensed EGS (Electric Generation Suppliers). The supply portion of your bill — typically the largest single line item for commercial accounts — is where retail competition applies. That's the piece a broker targets.
PECO publishes a quarterly Price to Compare (PTC) for each rate class. EGS offers should be compared against the current PTC.
What "Switching Suppliers" Means for PECO Energy Company Customers
Switching EGS in PECO territory is straightforward — the new supplier coordinates with PECO. No service interruption.
60+ licensed EGS providers are active in PECO territory.
The process: you authorize a supplier to serve your account, they notify PECO Energy Company, and the change takes effect at your next billing cycle. No technician visit. No service interruption. Same reliability, different supply rate.

Understanding Your PECO Energy Company Commercial Bill
A typical commercial PECO Energy Company bill has several distinct charges:
- Supply charge: Cost of electricity generation. This is negotiable — it's what retail suppliers compete on.
- Distribution/delivery charge: PECO Energy Company's fee for owning and maintaining the wires. Regulated, fixed.
- Transmission charge: High-voltage grid cost, managed by PJM. Regulated, fixed.
- Demand charge: Based on your peak 15-minute interval each month. Can represent 30–50% of your total bill.
- Capacity charges: PJM capacity market costs. Pass-through, not negotiable with suppliers.
A broker focuses on the supply charge — the one component where you have leverage. We make sure you understand all other charges so there are no surprises.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does switching suppliers affect my PECO Energy Company service?
No. PECO Energy Company handles physical delivery of electricity regardless of which supplier you choose. Switching EGS in PECO territory is straightforward — the new supplier coordinates with PECO. No service interruption. Your PECO Energy Company account number stays the same; you'll simply see a different supplier name on the supply portion of your bill.
Why is my PECO Energy Company bill so high?
Commercial PECO Energy Company bills have several components: supply charges (electricity generation), delivery charges (wires and poles), transmission, capacity charges, and taxes. Only the supply charge is negotiable through a retail supplier. PECO handles electricity and natural gas distribution. Electric generation supply is open to competition from licensed EGS (Electric Generation Suppliers).
What is PECO Energy Company's default service rate?
PECO Energy Company's default service (or 'provider of last resort' service) is the rate applied to accounts that haven't chosen a retail supplier. PECO publishes a quarterly Price to Compare (PTC) for each rate class. EGS offers should be compared against the current PTC. Competitive suppliers often offer better rates than default service for commercial accounts.
How do I get competing quotes for my PECO Energy Company account?
We pull your 12-month usage history from PECO Energy Company (with your authorization), build your load profile, and submit to 30+ active retail suppliers in the PECO Energy Company territory. You receive competing offers within 24–48 hours at no cost.
What's the difference between PECO Energy Company and a retail energy supplier?
PECO Energy Company owns the wires that deliver electricity to your building. A retail energy supplier (REP) generates or purchases the electricity itself. You pay PECO Energy Company for delivery and your chosen supplier for supply — two separate charges on one or two bills depending on the market structure.
