There are three primary reasons you may want to consider participating in this research study:

• Your participation can help shape how residential energy users are charged for electricity in the future.
• You can try a new rate plan with more flexibility and control allowing you to potentially lower your annual electricity costs by shifting some of your electricity usage to the lower-priced time periods.
• As a volunteer in the study, you will be compensated in the form of bill credits for your participation.

The information and knowledge gained from the study will help with efforts to design Time-of-Use (TOU) rate plans that are easier to understand, more reflective of actual costs, and encourage energy management to help people potentially lower their bills. You have been selected to participate based on geographic and demographic criteria required for this study.

Only those who were invited may participate in this study.
