Choose your time and save with our new rate option!
With Time-of-Use, when you use electricity is just as important as how much you use.
Participating in a residential time-of-use (TOU) rate plan offers significant benefits for households looking to save on electricity costs. Under this optional rate, electricity rates vary based on the time of day, allowing members to save by adjusting the time they use energy. For instance, the TOU rate structure features a high rate of 23.5¢ per kWh during peak demand hours (2 p.m.–7 p.m.), a very low rate of 4.6¢ per kWh during nighttime hours (9 p.m.–5 a.m.), and a moderately low rate of 10¢ per kWh during all other times. By shifting energy-intensive activities, such as running appliances, to nighttime or off-peak times, members can reduce their energy bills while also helping to ease strain on the grid during peak times.
If you are curious to know if participating in this rate would save you money, the cooperative can run a comparison based on your household’s historic electricity use. Members who try the new rate can always return to the standard electric rate. Members who elect to transition off the TOU rate will become ineligible to re-enroll for a period of 12 months.
