In Java Edition, run /summon minecraft:creeper ~ ~ ~ {powered:1b} to summon a charged creeper at your position. That Java-style entity data is not part of the documented Bedrock /summon syntax. In Bedrock, you can charge a creeper by striking it with lightning instead.
Java Edition: summon it with a command
Enter this command in chat or a command block:
/summon minecraft:creeper ~ ~ ~ {powered:1b}
minecraft:creeperselects the creeper.~ ~ ~places it at your current position.{powered:1b}sets its powered state, which makes it charged.
The order matters: the position comes before the entity data. Mojang’s legacy issue tracker documents that command pattern in MC-32972, an issue created in 2013 and resolved in 2017. It is historical evidence, not a current, version-stamped command manual. If the command is rejected by your Java version, check that version’s command and entity-data syntax.
Bedrock Edition: use lightning, not Java entity data
Microsoft’s Bedrock /summon reference documents an entity type with optional position, rotation, spawn event, and name tag. It does not document Java’s {powered:1b} argument or provide a direct charged-creeper example. So don’t expect the Java command above to work in Bedrock.
Bedrock’s documented /summon command requires cheats and Game Director permission. The Bedrock syntax and examples show how to summon entities, including a regular creeper, but do not establish a built-in event for summoning one already charged.

Charge a creeper with lightning
Strike a normal creeper with lightning to charge it. The official Minecraft Monstrous Compendium says a creeper subjected to lightning damage becomes charged for one minute. The source describes the effect and duration, not one lightning command that works across editions and versions, so use the command syntax documented for your game.
Microsoft’s popular commands guide also explains that /summon spawns an entity into the world.
