What every charge on your Atlantic City Electric bill means

Atlantic City Electric bills split into two halves — Supply (the cost of the electricity itself) and Delivery (the cost of bringing it to you over the wires) — then add a few fixed and New Jersey state-mandated charges. Here's what each line means.

Supply (Generation) charge: The cost of the electricity you actually used. Under New Jersey retail choice, this comes either from Atlantic City Electric's default Basic Generation Service (BGS) or from a third-party supplier you've chosen. Either way it appears in the Supply section of the bill. Supply is a pass-through — ACE doesn't mark it up — and the per-kWh price changes seasonally, with winter and summer rates.
Delivery — Distribution charge: The cost of bringing electricity to you over Atlantic City Electric's local poles, wires, and transformers. ACE always provides and bills delivery, even when a third-party supplier provides your generation. This is the regulated side of the bill, set by the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (NJBPU).
Customer (Service) charge: A fixed monthly charge that covers the cost of connecting your account to the grid — metering, billing, and basic service — regardless of how much electricity you use. It appears within Delivery Charges.
Transmission charge: The cost of moving electricity across the high-voltage regional grid before it reaches ACE's local distribution system. It's a per-kWh charge that ACE collects and passes through to the regional transmission operator (PJM).
Societal Benefits Charge (SBC): A New Jersey state-mandated charge that funds energy-efficiency programs, low-income assistance, and the state's Clean Energy Program. It's set by statute and the NJBPU, billed per kWh, and appears on every ACE delivery bill.
Capacity & Peak Load Contribution (PLC): On commercial and demand-metered accounts, ACE bills capacity based on your Peak Load Contribution — your share of the regional grid's peak demand, expressed in kW. The bill shows the demand (kW) value alongside per-kW rates. UtilityBillReader captures the demand and PLC figures so you can track them month to month.
Sales tax: New Jersey sales tax is applied to taxable electric charges. It appears as a separate line near the bottom of the bill. UtilityBillReader captures it as its own field so your CSV separates tax from the underlying supply and delivery costs.
Meter readings and usage detail: Not a charge, but the section that lists your meter number, previous and current reads, and total kWh — often with demand (kW) values shown for information. This is where the meter reads UtilityBillReader extracts come from.

Frequently asked questions

My Atlantic City Electric bill splits Supply and Delivery — does UtilityBillReader keep them separate?

Yes, and this is one of ACE's defining features. New Jersey bills separate Supply (Generation) — the cost of the electricity itself — from Delivery (Distribution and Transmission) — the cost of bringing it to you. UtilityBillReader captures both sides as distinct fields, plus the customer charge, the Societal Benefits Charge, and sales tax, so your CSV reflects the same structure as the bill rather than collapsing it into one total.

I buy my electricity from a third-party supplier, not ACE's Basic Generation Service — does that matter?

No. Under New Jersey retail choice, your Supply charge comes either from Atlantic City Electric's default Basic Generation Service (BGS) or from a third-party supplier you've selected. Either way it appears in the Supply section, and UtilityBillReader reads the consolidated bill as a whole — capturing the supplier name, the supply charge, and the ACE delivery charges so nothing is lost.

What's the difference between BGS and a third-party supplier on my bill?

Basic Generation Service (BGS) is the default supply Atlantic City Electric provides if you haven't chosen a competitive supplier. If you switch to a third-party supplier, ACE still delivers the electricity and bills delivery, but the Supply line reflects your supplier's price instead. UtilityBillReader records which supplier the bill names and captures the supply charge either way.

My bill mentions winter and summer rates — does UtilityBillReader handle seasonal pricing?

Yes. Atlantic City Electric supply rates change seasonally, and your bill notes when winter or summer rates are in effect. UtilityBillReader captures the billing period and the supply charge as billed, so when you convert several months you can see the seasonal rate change reflected in your data.

Does UtilityBillReader capture demand and Peak Load Contribution on commercial bills?

Yes. Commercial and demand-metered ACE accounts show demand in kW and a capacity Peak Load Contribution (PLC) value. UtilityBillReader captures the peak demand and the PLC-driven capacity charge as their own fields, so businesses tracking demand month to month get those numbers in structured form.

Does UtilityBillReader capture how much electricity I used?

Yes — your total usage for the billing period in kWh, plus whether the read was actual or estimated, and the previous and current meter reads. UtilityBillReader reports the period total alongside the demand (kW) figures where present on commercial bills.

What format do I get back?

Two downloads off the same extraction. A base CSV gives you one row per meter or service with a column for every field — utility, account, addresses, billing period, usage, demand, supply and delivery charges, and tax — and opens directly in Excel, Google Sheets, or any accounting tool. An advanced Excel (.xlsx) workbook adds a second sheet of per-line charge detail (supply, distribution, transmission, Societal Benefits Charge, individual taxes) keyed back to the first sheet so you can reconcile or pivot without losing structure.

Can I convert several bills at once?

Yes. Upload multiple bills — a year of statements, or bills across several properties — and get them back in one structured file, one row per meter. This is the common workflow for bookkeepers and property managers reconciling utility costs in bulk.

How accurate is UtilityBillReader?

Every extraction returns a confidence score and flags anything worth a second look, such as a bill covering multiple meters. UtilityBillReader lays each field out next to a clear label so it's quick to check the output against your original ACE bill, and the confidence score tells you where to look first.

Do I need an account, and is UtilityBillReader really free?

You can convert your first 5 pages every day with no account — just upload and download. Paid plans add higher volumes for regular or bulk use, but there's no signup wall to try UtilityBillReader or handle a one-off Atlantic City Electric bill.

Does UtilityBillReader work on my phone?

Yes. UtilityBillReader works in your phone's browser, so you can convert a bill from a photo or PDF without being at a computer.

What file types can I upload, and is my data secure?

PDF bills, digital or scanned, including multi-page bills in a single upload. Files uploaded without an account are deleted within 24 hours rather than stored indefinitely; account uploads follow your plan's retention window.

Use cases

Bookkeeping & accounting

Pull the total, billing period, and the supply-vs-delivery charge breakdown straight into a CSV ready to import into Xero or QuickBooks, instead of keying utility expenses by hand.

Supplier & rate comparison

Businesses weighing a third-party supplier against ACE's Basic Generation Service can extract the supply charge and per-kWh rate across months to compare offers on real billed data, not estimates.

ESG & Scope 2 reporting

Extract actual kWh as activity data for greenhouse-gas accounting under the GHG Protocol — more accurate than estimating emissions from the dollar amount alone.

Demand & usage analysis

Compare total kWh, demand in kW, and Peak Load Contribution across months to see how usage, capacity charges, and seasonal rates change over time.
