Electricity contract terms, explained

Your utility

Atlantic City Electric’s BGS rate in Wildwood

The BGS rate is what Atlantic City Electric charges for the electricity itself if you never choose a supplier: its Basic Generation Service (BGS). For Wildwood homes it is 17.6¢ per kWh since October 1, 2026. It covers supply only; Atlantic City Electric’s delivery charges are billed on top whichever supplier you use.

Atlantic City Electric resets it on a schedule set with the NJ BPU, from the power bought at New Jersey’s annual BGS auction, overseen by the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (NJ BPU). A supplier’s fixed price stays the same for its whole term, so it can end up above or below the BGS rate as the default moves.

The rule for switching: an offer saves money only when its price, monthly fee included, is below the BGS rate at your usage. The NJ BPU lists licensed third-party suppliers on its NJ Energy Choice site.
