What every charge on your PECO bill means

PECO bills carry both electricity and gas on one statement, and each commodity separates the cost of the energy itself (supply) from the cost of delivering it. Pennsylvania has retail choice for both electric and gas, so your supplier may differ from PECO even though PECO bills you. Here's what each line means.

PECO Electric — Supply (Generation): The cost of producing or buying the electricity you actually used, priced per kWh. Under Pennsylvania's retail-choice program (PAPowerSwitch), you can buy this from a competitive supplier instead of PECO's default Price to Compare. Either way the charge appears here, and PECO still bills it on the consolidated statement — the supplier's name is what changes.
PECO Electric — Delivery (Distribution & Transmission): The cost of moving electricity over PECO's poles, wires, substations, and transformers to your site, plus transmission. PECO always provides and bills delivery, even when a competitive supplier provides your generation. It is charged per kWh.
PECO Gas — Supply: The cost of the natural gas commodity itself, measured in Mcf (thousand cubic feet); PECO also expresses gas usage in CCF and therms on some statements. Pennsylvania's PAGasSwitch program lets you buy this gas from a competitive supplier; if you don't choose one, PECO supplies it at its default rate.
PECO Gas — Delivery (Distribution): The cost of moving natural gas through PECO's pipes to your meter. PECO always provides and bills gas delivery, even when a competitive supplier provides the gas commodity. It is charged per Mcf of gas delivered.
Customer Charge: A fixed monthly charge that covers the cost of connecting your account to PECO's electric and gas systems — metering, billing, and basic service — regardless of how much energy you use. On a dual-commodity bill this can appear once or split into a separate electric and gas customer charge.
PA riders & surcharges: A set of per-unit charges PECO collects under Pennsylvania PUC rules — universal service and energy-conservation programs, a distribution system improvement charge, and similar riders. They apply to the electric and gas portions of the bill and are usually small relative to supply and delivery.
Taxes & Fees: State taxes passed through on the bill, primarily the Pennsylvania Gross Receipts Tax and state sales/use tax where applicable. These appear toward the bottom of each commodity's section and roll into the total new charges.
Service Information / Meter reads: Not a charge, but the section listing your electric and gas meter numbers, the previous and current reads, and whether each read was actual or estimated. This is where the meter reads and usage totals UtilityBillReader extracts come from.

Frequently asked questions

My PECO bill has both electricity and gas on one statement — does UtilityBillReader read both?

Yes, and this is PECO's defining trait. A single PECO bill can carry both electric and gas service, each with its own supply and delivery charges. UtilityBillReader reads the consolidated statement as a whole and splits each commodity into its own row in your CSV — separate usage, unit, supplier, and charges — so the electricity and the gas come back as distinct, fully structured rows rather than one combined total.

My supply comes from a competitive supplier, not PECO — does that matter?

No. Pennsylvania has retail choice for both electricity (PAPowerSwitch) and gas (PAGasSwitch), so your supply charge may come from a competitive supplier while PECO bills delivery and the whole statement. UtilityBillReader captures the supplier name along with both the supply and delivery charges, so a switched-supplier bill comes back complete.

PECO measures gas in Mcf, therms, and CCF — which does UtilityBillReader capture?

Whatever unit your bill uses. PECO expresses gas usage in Mcf (thousand cubic feet) and may also show CCF or therms. UtilityBillReader reads the gas total with its unit exactly as printed, alongside the electricity total in kWh, so each commodity keeps its correct unit in the CSV.

Does UtilityBillReader capture how much electricity and gas I used?

Yes — the total electricity for the billing period in kWh and the total gas in Mcf (or therms/CCF), plus whether each read was actual or estimated. UtilityBillReader reports the period totals as printed on the bill.

I run a business on a General Service rate — does UtilityBillReader handle commercial PECO bills?

Yes. UtilityBillReader fully supports PECO commercial bills, including the General Service rate class, the dual-commodity split, the supplier under retail choice, and the full supply, delivery, riders, and tax breakdown for both electricity and gas.

What format do I get back?

Two downloads off the same extraction. A base CSV gives you one row per service — electricity and gas as separate rows — with a column for every field: utility, account, addresses, billing period, usage, supplier, cost, and rate class. It 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 vs delivery splits, individual riders and 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, with electricity and gas split into their own rows. This is the common workflow for bookkeepers and property managers reconciling PECO costs in bulk.

How accurate is UtilityBillReader?

Every extraction returns a confidence score and flags anything worth a second look, such as a dual-commodity bill carrying both electricity and gas. UtilityBillReader lays each field out next to a clear label so it's quick to check the output against your original PECO 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 PECO 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.

PECO statements can run several pages — does that matter?

No. PECO bills often span multiple pages, especially when both electricity and gas detail are included. Upload the whole multi-page PDF in a single file and UtilityBillReader reads it end to end, pulling each commodity into its own row.

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 charge breakdown straight into a CSV ready to import into Xero or QuickBooks, with electricity and gas as separate lines instead of keying PECO utility expenses by hand.

Electric + gas cost allocation

Because PECO bills both commodities together, finance teams can split the electric and gas portions into their own rows for separate cost centers, budgets, or tenant rebilling without untangling one combined total.

ESG & Scope 1 and 2 reporting

Extract actual kWh and gas Mcf as activity data for greenhouse-gas accounting under the GHG Protocol — gas usage feeds Scope 1 combustion and electricity feeds Scope 2, more accurate than estimating from the dollar amount alone.

Usage analysis

Compare electricity and gas usage and the cost breakdown across months to see how each commodity and the bill change over time — including across heating and cooling seasons.
