Time-of-Use Rate Periods

With Time-of-Use rates, the price of electricity varies depending on when it is used. The rate periods are different in the summer and winter months.

With Time-of-Use rates, there is a financial incentive for you to conserve energy and to shift some consumption away from on-peak periods.
