PECO's residential price to compare, the default electric supply rate for customers who do not shop for a competitive supplier, rose from about 11.024 cents to about 11.572 cents per kilowatt hour on June 1, 2026, an increase of roughly 5 percent. The increase followed the 2025/2026 PJM capacity auction, where prices in some parts of the grid surged more than 800 percent, driven partly by plant retirements and growing data center demand. The rate had already risen from about 10.40 cents in June 2025, so the two increases compound to roughly an 11 percent rise over one year.
What it means for your bill: A PECO household that buys its generation supply from PECO rather than a competitive shopper saw its supply charge rise by about 5 percent starting with its June 2026 bill.
