Commercial Energy Management in the Prince George's County
Prince George's County is Pepco territory inside PJM — PEPCO transmission zone. Pepco delivers the power and maintains the wires whoever supplies it, so competitive supply carries no reliability consequence — only a lower price.
How Energy Buying Works in Prince George's County
Prince George's County shares Pepco service and the PEPCO PJM zone with Montgomery County, but its load is moving in a different direction — data center development along the US-301 corridor is adding demand quickly to a grid whose commercial base has historically been federal facilities and the University of Maryland. For existing buyers, growing zonal peak is not neutral: capacity obligations are allocated on peak load contribution, and a rising zonal forecast raises the cost basis for everyone in the zone. Fixing capacity in the contract, rather than accepting it as a pass-through, is the specific hedge that matters here.
Maryland opened to competition in 1999, but the terms are set territory by territory, not statewide. Pepco's distribution rates, its default supply price and its rate schedules are all set independently of the other utilities in Maryland — which is why an offer that is genuinely competitive in one part of the state can be mediocre here. Everything on this page is scoped to Pepco specifically.
Pepco Commercial Rates
Which schedule you are on sets the shape of the bill before a single kilowatt-hour is priced.
| Schedule | Typically covers |
|---|---|
| GS ND — General Service Non-Demand | small commercial accounts |
| GS LV — General Service Low Voltage | demand-metered commercial accounts |
| GT LV — General Time-of-Use Low Voltage | larger accounts on time-of-use |
Schedule names, demand thresholds and eligibility rules change with each rate case, and the schedule an account was originally placed on is frequently no longer the one that fits it. We verify yours against the actual bill rather than assuming — that check is free, and it is where a meaningful share of the savings on this page comes from.
