Values read from the text of the PEC Tariff and Business Rules for Electric Service (effective October 1, 2026), which the PEC residential rates page links to. Section 500.2.1 gives the four residential charges. Sections 500.1.2, 500.1.3, 500.1.7.1 and 500.1.8.1 give the same values. The PEC residential rates page and the data of its rate calculator show the same values ($32.50, $0.022546, $0.065900, $0.020688, credits $1.00 and $1.50). The PEC sample bills of October 2025 (2,583 kWh and 1,552 kWh) were calculated again with the rates printed on them. Each line and the current charges ($303.44 and $183.00) agree to the cent. Thus the calculator uses the same method: kWh x rate, each line rounded to the cent. Those sample bills show the base power charge before March 1, 2026 ($0.061900). The PEC 2026 Rate Plan shows the change from $0.0619 to $0.0659 per kWh on March 1, 2026. PEC does not publish a sample bill with the October 2026 rates. The test bills are hand calculations.
