Pennsylvania tariff question - PECO vs PPL rate comparison

Started by Frank M. — 2 years ago — 1 views
Frank M. in Pittsburgh here. Got a client considering relocating from PECO territory to PPL. Both are around 500 kW demand, Schedule GS rate class. Anyone have experience comparing these two utilities? The tariff structures look similar but I'm seeing some differences in the demand charge tiers and time-of-use periods.
Carl H. from Buffalo. I've done some work in eastern PA. From what I recall, PPL has more aggressive time-of-use differentials than PECO. Their peak period is also longer - I think 8am-8pm vs 7am-7pm for PECO. But this was a couple years ago, so double-check the current tariffs. PPL's website is pretty good for historical rate comparisons.
Thanks Carl. I'm looking at PPL's Schedule GS-Large and PECO's Rate GS. The demand charges are really close, but PPL has that declining block structure for energy that might benefit my high-usage client. Problem is, I can't find clear information about their capacity charges and transmission riders. Any idea where to dig deeper into the rider schedules?
