Rate Schedules & Tariff Analysis
ACE C&I rates separate regulated distribution (set by BPU) from competitive supply (BGS auction or TPS). Schedule selection is driven by voltage level (secondary/primary/transmission) and demand size; the 500 kW peak load share threshold determines whether supply is fixed (BGS-RSCP) or hourly PJM-indexed (BGS-CIEP). Demand charges grow in importance with size, so load-factor management is central to C&I cost control.
Atlantic City Electric Rate Schedule List
| Schedule | Applicability |
|---|---|
| MGS-Secondary / MGS-Primary | Monthly-determined general service, small-to-medium commercial. |
| AGS-Secondary / AGS-Primary | Annual-determined general service, larger commercial/industrial. |
| TGS | Transmission/sub-transmission service for the largest industrial loads. |

- 500 kW peak load share threshold splits BGS-RSCP (fixed) vs BGS-CIEP (hourly)

Atlantic City Electric Data Access FAQ
Is electricity supply deregulated for ACE business customers?▾
Yes. ACE delivers power as the regulated distribution utility, but generation supply is competitive. C&I customers can take default Basic Generation Service (priced via the annual NJ BGS auction) or buy from a licensed Third Party Supplier. Compare offers at njpowerswitch.com.
What is the difference between BGS-RSCP and BGS-CIEP for my business?▾
Commercial accounts with an annual peak load share below 500 kW take BGS-RSCP, a fixed-price default supply. Accounts at or above 500 kW (and all TGS customers) take BGS-CIEP, which is priced hourly against PJM wholesale markets — more volatile, and often worth hedging with a fixed third-party supply contract.
How does my business get interval (15-minute) usage data?▾
ACE's Smart Energy Network meters record 15-minute data. Businesses can download Green Button XML from the portal, use the Agentis Business Energy Manager, or aggregate multiple sites through the Exelon Energy Usage Data System (EUDS) with CSV export and ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager sync.
Can a consultant or energy manager access our ACE data?▾
Yes. Customers can grant access via Update Contractor Data Access Authorization in the portal, invite a consultant as a user in EUDS, or share Green Button XML files directly. Licensed Third Party Suppliers exchange usage via EDI 867 transactions.
Did ACE business rates change in 2026?▾
The 2026 statewide BGS auction was certified Feb. 12, 2026, with new supply prices effective June 1, 2026. ACE characterized the change as less than 1% to the supply portion of the bill; distribution charges are set separately by the NJ BPU. Always confirm exact charges against the current NJ electric tariff.
