TOU and TOU+
The "Time It Right" Rate Project will apply two different time-of-use rates: TOU and TOU+.
Cheaper at night and on weekends
The off-peak periods when electricity is the least expensive for both TOU and TOU+ are 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. on weekdays, and all day on weekends, December 25 and January 1.
Rate comparison
Rates TOU and TOU+ are compared with Residential Rate D in the table below.
| Current Rate D | At present, electricity costs you the same whether you use it at noon or at midnight, on Christmas day or during the dog-days of summer. The only factor that affects the price is the volume consumed: the first 30 kilowatthours (kWh) per day are billed to you at 5.45¢/kWh, and the rest at 7.46¢/kWh. | |
|---|---|---|
| Rate TOU | With Rate TOU, two additional factors come into play: season and time of day. | See rate comparison table |
| Rate TOU+ | In addition to the three factors that make up Rate TOU (volume, season and time of day), Rate TOU+ uses a fourth variable: the critical peak, which is when demand spikes in winter. | See rate comparison table |
