Rate Schedules & Tariff Analysis
Because RECO operates in a deregulated market, a C&I bill has two levers: the regulated delivery (distribution) charges set in RECO's NJ tariff, and the competitive supply charges from a chosen Third Party Supplier or default BGS. Delivery classes are demand-billed and seasonally block-structured, so peak management reduces the regulated portion, while supplier shopping addresses the commodity portion. Precise delivery rates are in the RECO NJ tariff and were under BPU review during 2025-2026.
Rockland Electric Company Rate Schedule List
| Schedule | Applicability |
|---|---|
| SC No. 2 - Secondary General / Demand | Secondary-voltage demand-billed commercial / small industrial |
| SC No. 4 - Large Power / Primary | Large C&I, primary voltage |
| SC No. 6 - High-Tension / Transmission | Transmission-level large industrial |
Rockland Electric Company Rate Features & TOU Details
- Deregulated supply (TPS or default BGS) plus regulated delivery
- Demand-billed C&I delivery classes (SC Nos. 2, 3, 4, 6)
- Seasonally differentiated, block-structured delivery rates
- Separately stated transmission charges for large/primary classes

Limitations & Considerations
- ⚠Exact RECO NJ delivery rates ($/kWh, $/kW) are not published in an easily machine-readable form; consult the current RECO NJ electric tariff PDF for precise charges.
- ⚠RECO base distribution rates were under review at the NJ BPU during 2025-2026 (rate-case suspension extended), so delivery charges may change once the case concludes.
- ⚠Green Button Connect authorizations inactive for 45+ days may be revoked, requiring customer re-authorization.
- ⚠Gas service does not apply to RECO in New Jersey (O&R gas service is in New York).
Rockland Electric Company Data Access FAQ
How does a C&I customer get automated interval data to a consultant or platform?▾
Authorize the provider through Share My Data (powered by Green Button Connect My Data). After the customer approves via My Account, the registered third party receives up to 24 months of history and ongoing 15-30 minute interval data automatically over a secure OAuth 2.0 connection. Authorizations inactive for 45+ days may be revoked.
Can a C&I customer in RECO territory shop for electricity supply?▾
Yes. New Jersey is a deregulated market. RECO provides regulated delivery, while supply can be purchased from any licensed Third Party Supplier or taken as Basic Generation Service (BGS) by default. Compare supplier offers against RECO's Price to Compare.
What rate schedules apply to commercial and industrial accounts?▾
RECO's New Jersey tariff classes service by size and demand, including secondary general/demand service (e.g., SC No. 2) and larger primary/high-tension classes. Larger accounts are demand-billed with seasonal, block-structured usage and demand rates. See the current RECO NJ electric tariff for exact delivery charges.
How do delivery and supply charges differ on a RECO bill?▾
Delivery (distribution) charges are regulated by the NJ BPU and appear on the RECO portion of the bill. Supply (generation) charges reflect either a chosen Third Party Supplier's price or RECO's Basic Generation Service. Managing demand reduces the regulated delivery component, while supply shopping addresses the competitive component.
How much usage history can I retrieve, and in what format?▾
My Account holds up to 24 months of billing history (PDF). Green Button Download provides ~13 months as spreadsheet or ESPI XML. Green Button Connect / Share My Data delivers up to 24 months plus ongoing interval data as ESPI/Atom XML to authorized third parties.
