How do I find my ComEd rate on my bill?+
Your electricity bill shows the total kWh consumed and the charges applied. Look for the 'energy charge' or 'supply charge' line item - this is the per-kWh rate times your usage. Delivery charges (transmission and distribution) are listed separately and represent a significant portion of your total rate. The fixed customer charge appears as a flat line item. Your effective combined rate (all charges / total kWh) may differ from the tariff rate due to the fixed charge amortization.
