Electricity Rates

[Grouch1980]

Hi,
Can someone please help me navigate Con Edison's website? I posted the link below. I'm looking for their current rates (cents per KWH) for a commercial building / space:

Where exactly do I go to find it?

Thanks!

A lot of poco’s will not publish their commercial rates, because they work deals with large customers such as Home Depot, Lowes, Wal-Mart, and the like.

Commercial rates may be on a demand meter. Best to call them for how they prorate your usage.

ok, understood.

Just to add to this question, what is a utility 'preferred rate', when related to EV charging stations? What does a preferred rate mean?

In this context, "preferred rate" means "We're going to give customer 'A' a lower rate than everyone else, and let the remaining customers subsidize him".

It's analogous to "I can get it for you wholesale".

Adding to this thread...
All 'preferred rate' loads, such as EV charging stations, would be on their own dedicated utility meter? And non preferred rate loads, would be on a separate meter I assume? And both types of loads can connect to the same electric service from the POCO?

I have a friend that works up there, she was an intern here and worked close for a while.
She said it depends on your location.

Larger supply services can have multiple options on how to bill it. Particularly if there is high demand at times.

Might have a minimum purchase amount per billing period, with a demand cap and high rates for anytime you exceed the demand cap, yet no refunds if you didn't even come close to the usage included in the agreement. Some those to get most bang for your buck you need to schedule usage habits to work around the peak demand periods of the rest of the grid. If you can't afford to shut down during peak periods then you possibly subscribe to a higher base usage but are out of lessening charge that base if you have periods where you didn't use your allotted demand - that is where on site generation sometimes factors in - can cost less to subscribe to a lower base rate and then co generate at times of peak demand to lessen any demand penalties for going over .
