SECTION 2 - PAGE 7 - PLAINDEALER - WEDNESDAY, MAY II, 1984 ComEd announces higher summer rates in effect With the summer months approaching, Commonwealth Edison reminds its 2.75 million residential customers that summertime electricity rates, will go into effect between May 16 and June 14. Seasonal residential rates were implemented in 1979 to reflect the higher cost of sup plying electricity during the summer months. During the eight non-sufnmer months, rates are lower than they would be if a single, year- round rate were still in effect. For those customers who don't use air conditioners, the sum mer rates should be more than offset by the lower non-sum^ner rate, and assuming they are average electricity users, their annual cost would be lower than with a level annual structure. Charges should balance out for average residential users, and the total annual cost should be about the same as under a rate structure with a level year- round charge. If the customer uses a relatively high proportion of electricity in the summer, he or she will pay more over a year's time. But for the customer who watches summer electric use closely, there is an opportunity to save energy and money. Summer rates begin as early as May 16 or as late as June 14, depending upon when the customer's meter is read. Likewise, the rates can end as early as Sept. 14 or as late as Oct. 15. However, the period will never exceed four billing months. A customer can determine the approximate beginning of his or her summer rate period by looking at the time covered by the May bill. If the period ends May 16 or later, that ending date will mark the start of the first month of summer rate billing. Present residential rates are 9.780 cents per ldlowatthour during the summer billing cycle and 7.842 cents per ldlowatthour for the next eight months, plus or minus the fuel adjustment. Edison recommends main taining summer indoor tem peratures at an energy-saving 78 degrees to minimize the use of air conditioners. Customers planning to buy an air con ditioner are advised to select a machine with an energy ef ficiency ratio (EER) of at least eight.
