Timing of High Electricity Usage

The rate you pay for electricity varies throughout the day and gets broken into "on-peak" periods when the cost is higher due to demand, and "off-peak" times, when the cost is lower.

To maximize your savings, which “off-peak” hours Monday through Friday would work best for you?

Lower Prices for Flexible Households

We offer lower rates if you can shift high usage to times when there is less demand.

Dynamic Peak Pricing works best if you have a flexible schedule that can adapt to changing energy needs. Multiple pricing tiers may lower your bill if you can shift usage away from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. and during Critical Peak Events, when prices rise due to extreme demand.

Overnight Savers provides an additional window of potential savings for customers who are typically away from their home between 3 p.m. and 7 p.m. on weekdays, or who can manage and control their energy usage during this time. It offers lower rates between 1 a.m. and 7 a.m.

Which of these would be best for you?

Electric car charging.

Money-Saving Rates for Specific Equipment
