Anyone else seeing major changes in ConEd's commercial rate structures for 2026? I have several clients on SC-2 and SC-9 schedules and the demand charge components are shifting significantly. Some customers will see 15-20% increases while others might actually save money. Trying to figure out the pattern here - seems related to load factor and time-of-use profiles.
ConEd Rate Structure Changes - Impact on Commercial Customers
Yes, ConEd filed major restructuring last fall. The key change is they're moving more costs into the delivery charges and adding seasonal demand differentials. High load factor customers (>60%) generally benefit, but low load factor retail and office buildings are getting hammered. I've been advising clients to consider demand response programs to offset the increases.
