Encoded from the same tariff book, on the same day. Which one
you are on is on your bill; which one you are eligible for is set by the

Transcription notes recorded when this tariff was encoded, including anything deliberately left out.
DELIVERY ONLY. Schedule R prices distribution; generation and transmission come from Rider 'SOS' - a separate tariff page with its own rates - or from a competitive supplier. Maryland's own availability clause says so, and the DC Commission stated it directly in Order No. 22869: 'The Commission only sets rates for the distribution portion of a customer's bill.'
ONE EIA COMPANY, TWO REGULATORS. EIA files Potomac Electric Power Co as a single operating company across the District and Maryland, and coverage counts per company, so encoding one jurisdiction alone would have marked all 872,387 customers covered. Both are encoded, so there is no overstatement to declare - the same arrangement as Appalachian Power.
THE ENCODED RATE IS THE DISTRIBUTION SERVICE CHARGE, NOT THE WHOLE DELIVERY LINE. Schedule R names 20 applicable riders and prices almost none of them: Pepco publishes their values on separate monthly and annual sheets, which is why its own summary sheet lists them as 'view monthly rate' instead of a number. Every one is listed in _provenance.excluded_riders. A real bill's delivery portion is HIGHER than this by whatever those sheets currently say, so treat this as a floor.
WHY NOT FOLD IN THE FEW RIDERS THAT ARE PRICED IN THE BOOK. Because the result would be neither the tariff's distribution charge nor a bill's delivery charge, and no caller could tell which they had. All riders are out, uniformly, and enumerated.
pepco.com IS A SOFT-200 CATCH-ALL and cannot be used to test whether a document exists. Every HTML path there - including deliberately bogus ones - returns the same empty shell with HTTP 200. The tariffs are on Contentstack behind a reverse proxy at pepco.com/cdn/assets/v3/... that looks first-party by hostname, and every URL is version-pinned: the versionless Contentstack handles return empty bodies, so there is no 'current' alias to follow.
THE RIDER LISTS NEARLY MATCH IN PLACES, WHICH IS THE TRAP. Only four riders carry EXACTLY the same name in both jurisdictions - Standard Offer Service, Administrative Credit, Optional Meter Equipment Related Services and Bill Stabilization Adjustment. Three more are the same thing under names that differ by a word: the District's 'Delivery Tax' is Maryland's 'Delivery Tax Surcharge', 'Net Energy Metering Rider' is 'Net Energy Metering', and 'Residential Direct Load Control Rider' is 'Residential Direct Load Control'. Near-identical names on separately filed riders are how a value gets carried across and applied to the wrong jurisdiction.
SEASONS ARE JUNE THROUGH OCTOBER AND NOVEMBER THROUGH MAY. Both tariffs define them identically, and each states them separately - checked against one another rather than carried across, since almost nothing else about these two jurisdictions matches.
NO BLOCKS AT ALL - one flat rate per season, 8.760c in summer and 4.328c in winter. The District's Schedule R blocks at 400 kWh; this one does not block anywhere, which is the single most copyable difference between the two jurisdictions.
THE SUMMER RATE IS MORE THAN DOUBLE THE WINTER RATE (2.02x), a far sharper seasonal split than the District's, where only the above-400 kWh tail moves and only by a third.
A GROSS RECEIPTS TAX SURCHARGE OF 2.0408% IS PRINTED INSIDE SCHEDULE R, applied to the transmission and distribution components. It is NOT in the encoded rate: it is a percentage of a subtotal that includes transmission, which this delivery-only encoding does not carry, so there is no base here to apply it to. The District's schedule has no such clause.
ONLY ONE RATE-YEAR COLUMN IS PRINTED, unlike the District's two. Later years of the multi-year plan arrive through Rider MYP ADJUSTMENT rather than as extra columns - and that rider prices nothing: it says the rate 'is determined by' allocating an imbalance and that the details 'are filed with and approved by the Commission prior to their use'. It is a procedure, not a number, so there is nothing to add here.
MARYLAND OPC QUOTES A FIGURE THAT DOES NOT FIT THE SEASON, AND IT IS RECORDED RATHER THAN RESOLVED. The Office of People's Counsel lists Pepco's August 2026 volumetric distribution rate as $0.04328/kWh and its customer charge as $8.44. The customer charge matches exactly, which is useful corroboration that these rates are still live. But $0.04328 is the WINTER rate and August is a summer billing month, whose rate is $0.08760. Either OPC quotes the winter figure year-round as a reference, or something moved. OPC is not a Pepco publication and this encoding follows the tariff.
A RATE CASE IS PENDING. Per Maryland OPC, Pepco filed in November 2025 for an overall 23% distribution increase - 15% on summer rates and 33% on winter. Not in rates yet; it will move these numbers when it lands.
