Billing Details - Current Charges
|
#1: Residential Rate: RS
Most PPL residential customers receive electric services under the
RS rate. Some customers have special rates such as RTS, RTD, RW0 and RW1,
which are no longer offered to new customers.
#2: Distribution
Charge:
The price for delivering electricity to your home or business.
#3: Customer
Charge:
The monthly charge to cover PPL Electric Utilities' basic costs
for billing, metering and meter reading.
#4: Transmission Charge:
The cost of moving electricity from a generating plant to the PPL
distribution system. When you select an electric generation supplier, that
supplier, not PPL, will bill you for transmission charges.
#5: Transition Charge:
A charge on every customer's bill to cover an electric utility's
transition or stranded costs, as allowed by the Public Utility Commission.
These costs are not new; they have always been part of your bill.
(Transition costs are those costs a utility would have
been able to collect in a regulated environment, but will not be able
to collect in a competitive environment.)
#6: Generation Charge:
The amount your electric generation supplier charges for making
your electricity.
#7: PA Tax Surcharge:
A surcharge on your total distribution charges from PPL Electric
Utilities, which reflects changes in various state taxes already included
in your bill. This surcharge may change periodically.
