In practice, this lets utilities recover approved spending on grid hardening, reliability, storms, and modernization through customer bills after regulatory review.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe pricing logic is simple: the utility spends capital first, then seeks recovery through tariffed charges. That lowers financing risk because regulators can allow recovery of prudently incurred costs, but it also adds regulatory lag, which is the delay between spending and collecting the money back from customers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e6\u003c\/strong\u003e utilities means Exelon manages several rate structures at once, but the same principle applies across them: prices must stay within approved regulatory boundaries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePECO’s rate-case withdrawal is important because a withdrawn filing leaves the existing approved tariff structure in place.
