How much does ConEd charge per kWh in 2026?

ConEd’s estimated effective residential rate is about 33.83 cents per kWh as of May 2026. A typical home using 1,000 kWh a month pays roughly $350, including the about $12 monthly customer charge. Commercial service runs about 21.43c/kWh. This is a representative average; your exact rate depends on the tariff, season, and fuel and rider charges on ConEd’s official rate schedule.

2026 published rate: Con Edison publishes its own average full-service electric rates, and for a New York City Residential (SC-1) customer the all-in rate reached about 33.83 cents per kWh in 2025, up from 33.45c in 2024 and 29.52c in 2023. That figure covers delivery, commodity, and riders and is grossed up for state and local tax; the fixed monthly customer charge is billed on top of it. Westchester Residential ran about 32.25 cents. Con Edison's NYC rate sits well above New York State's 29.93c average residential price (EIA, May 2026) because New York City delivery charges and taxes are among the highest in the country. For summer 2026 Con Edison expects a typical NYC residential bill to rise about 5.7 percent, driven mainly by higher supply (commodity) charges, while Westchester residential bills fall about 2.8 percent. Rates are set through New York PSC rate cases and monthly supply adjustments. Con Edison published average full-service electric rates (2023-2025) and 2026 rate outlook.

Multiply your monthly kilowatt-hours by the per-kWh rate, then add the fixed customer charge. Using ConEd's estimated effective residential rate of 33.83 cents per kWh and its roughly $12 monthly fixed charge, a home using 750 kWh a month works out to about (750 x $0.3383) + $12 = $265.73 a month.

This is a representative estimate; your exact rate depends on the tariff, season, and fuel and rider charges on the official schedule linked above.
How do I find my ConEd rate on my bill?+
Your electricity bill shows the total kWh consumed and the charges applied. Look for the 'energy charge' or 'supply charge' line item - this is the per-kWh rate times your usage. Delivery charges (transmission and distribution) are listed separately and represent a significant portion of your total rate. The fixed customer charge appears as a flat line item. Your effective combined rate (all charges / total kWh) may differ from the tariff rate due to the fixed charge amortization.
