Atlantic City Electric

Atlantic City Electric is a regulated electric utility serving approximately 547,000–556,000 customers across southern New Jersey. As a subsidiary of Exelon Corporation (formerly Pepco Holdings), the company focuses on delivering safe, reliable, affordable electricity while supporting regional clean energy goals. Recent initiatives include building out its Smart Energy Network with advanced metering infrastructure to enhance reliability and enable new customer tools; expanding support for electric vehicles by facilitating public charging ports; offering robust energy efficiency incentives through partnerships like ENERGY STAR; and providing targeted assistance programs to help customers manage bills during periods of high usage or economic hardship.
The company plays an important role in New Jersey’s transition toward cleaner energy by enabling distributed generation (such as rooftop solar) via net metering policies but does not itself install or finance solar systems. It has received recognition for its efforts in promoting appliance recycling and home performance upgrades that reduce overall grid demand.
