Flat vs time-of-use
The two prices you can be on
Most PECO residential customers are on the default Price to Compare unless they choose a competitive supplier or enroll in another eligible program.
PECO's optional time-of-use structure rewards timing: overnight and many daytime hours are cheaper than the Price to Compare, while non-holiday weekdays from 2pm to 6pm are much more expensive.
Whether PECO time-of-use pricing helps depends on when the household uses electricity, not only how much electricity the household uses.
