TIME OF DAY RATE

If you don’t have an electric vehicle or would like the incentives of a special rate, a time of day rate is available to residential members.

This rate is perfect for:

• Energy savers who are willing to modify behavior to maximize savings.
• Members who are willing to shift their energy use away from peak hours.
• Those able to shift the use of appliances like dishwashers and clothes dryers to off peak hours and are willing to reduce their air conditioning and hot water use during on peak and critical peak hours.

To qualify for the time of day rate:

• You must agree to be on the Time of Day rate for a minimum of 12 months.

Off-Peak Charge: Generation and Transmission portion is variable rate only.*

On-Peak Charge: Non-variable rate plus 1.5 cents per kWh.

On-Peak Demand Charge: $2.86 per kW. No demand charges for off peak electric use.

Critical-Peak Charge: Non-variable rate plus 13.9 cents per kWh.
