As summer approaches and energy usage increases, PECO is sharing important information about upcoming changes to electric bills and resources available to help residents manage costs.

Beginning June 1, customers may see an increase in the supply portion of their electric bill due to higher wholesale energy and capacity prices across the region. PECO notes that these costs are set through regional energy markets and are passed directly to customers.

Visit www.peco.com/Summer to learn more about managing energy usage, exploring efficiency programs, and enrolling in available assistance programs.
