Residential Time of Use Rate

Home 9 Residential Time of Use Rate

Save money by scheduling your energy use.

With our voluntary Time-of-Use rate, the price of electricity varies depending on the time of day. By shifting certain activities, such as laundry, dishwashing, electric vehicle charging, or running major appliances, to lower-cost periods, you can reduce your monthly energy bill without sacrificing comfort.
