Atlantic City Electric Co
Average price is revenue divided by sales for the sector and year; it is not a tariff rate. Reliability figures are as reported by utilities to EIA on Form 861 and may use different calculation methods. Annual figures: Form EIA-861 for 2024, final release. Monthly state figures run to July 2026.
In its Form EIA-861 filing for 2024, Atlantic City Electric Co, an investor-owned utility, reported 506,488 residential customers in New Jersey, with a service territory that touches 8 counties.
Its average residential price that year was 23.41¢ per kilowatthour, 21% above the New Jersey average of 19.34¢ and 42% above the US average of 16.48¢. The figure is residential revenue divided by residential sales, so it folds in fixed charges, riders and every rate schedule the utility bills under.
That works out to an average residential bill of $148.30 a month on average use of 633 kWh a month. Across New Jersey the average bill was $128.13 on 662 kWh, so a bill gap reflects how much power households use as well as what each kilowatthour costs.
The price covers the 472,020 residential customers on bundled service. A further 34,468 take delivery only and buy their energy from another supplier; EIA collects just part of their bill from this respondent, so they are left out of the average.
For reliability it reported a SAIDI of 123.0 minutes per customer with major event days included and 50.0 minutes with them excluded, calculated under IEEE 1366 standard. The median among New Jersey utilities reporting was 174.1 minutes with major event days; this utility's figure is 29% below that median.
The average price is up 32.6% on 2019, against up 22.0% for New Jersey as a whole, and up 13.8% on 2023.

Sales by sector, 2024
| Sector | Customers | Sales | Share of sales | Revenue | ¢ per kWh, bundled |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Residential | 506,488 | 3.8 TWh | 44% | $867,991,500 | 23.41¢ |

Customers, sales and revenue count every service type the utility reported (bundled, energy-only and delivery-only). The price column uses bundled service alone, because part-bill revenue would understate it. Sources of energy: 5.7 TWh in total, of which 0% was its own net generation and 5.7 TWh was bought wholesale; summer peak demand 2,405 MW.
Reliability
Minutes of sustained interruption per customer in 2024, as the utility reported them under IEEE 1366 standard. SAIFI: 0.84 interruptions per customer with major event days, 0.67 without; CAIDI 146.4 minutes per interruption. EIA's New Jersey total across all reporting utilities was 174.2 minutes with major event days and 99.7 without. Major event days are storms and similar events that a utility's chosen method sets apart; methods differ, so treat comparisons as approximate. What SAIDI and SAIFI mean.
