Click \u201cView Usage Data\u201d and it\u2019ll take you to a results screen showing vital stats. The \u201cCapacity PLC\u201d at the top is a calculation that is unique to each customer. (PLC stands for &#8220;Peak Load Contribution,&#8221; and according to ComEd it represents your expected energy usage during high-demand hours on hot summer afternoons. The PLC is your households electricity usage averaged over 10 system peak periods the previous summer. ) 3. Once you find your &#8220;Capacity PLC,&#8221; you multiply the following four figures: The &#8220;Capacity PLC&#8221; (unique to your account) The &#8220;scaling factor&#8221; (1.00712) The &#8220;forecast pool requirement&#8221; (0.9380) The monthly capacity charge rate ($8.331 per Kilowatt-Month) 4. The product of those four numbers is your capacity charge.
