What is a Time-of-Use Residential Rate Plan?

If you are able to manage your energy habits, one of our Time-Of-Use plans may be the best fit for your home. Rates on a TOU plan are based on the time of day and the season. TOU plans can help you manage your energy costs. By taking advantage of lower rates during off-peak and super-off-peak periods, you can avoid higher weekday rates when energy resources are in demand.

  • Electricity prices are typically lower early in the day, overnight, and on the weekends
  • Bills may be higher during the summer but overall annual energy costs can be lower
  • The new TOU 4-9 PM and 5-8 PM plans offer low prices while the sun is shining and solar power is contributing to the power grid

How Can TOU Help You Save?

Time-of-use plans are designed so you have options to reduce your overall costs. Check out the video to discover how TOU rate plans work.
