PSE&G - What Are They Hiding In Electric Bills?

If you're a residential electric service customer (RS rate class) in the PSE&G service territory, you are familiar with the steadily rising costs. You pay for the energy you use in the form of a "Supply charge." You pay a separate fee as part of your bill, a "Delivery charge", for having PSE&G deliver that energy to your home.

 

Sounds reasonable, right?

 

PSE&G shows a rate on your bill for each of the per kWh fees for both Supply and Delivery. What they don't show you is what is hidden in those rates. Did you know that your Delivery charge rate had nine (yes, 9) components? They show you one single rate. And, in just one of those nine components there are 16 sub-components.

 

Why are they hiding these charges? Of course, all rate-payers, including commercial and industrial customers are experiencing soaring costs, but individuals and families are feeling the pinch more than anyone.
