The residential rate is being changed to a variable Time of Day rate as a way to smooth out peaks in demand. By providing a lower rate in off-peak hours, consumers will be more likely to reduce energy usage during peak hours when demand on the grid is highest.

Your current rate is the same regardless of the time or day. With our new Time of Day rates, you can save money by shifting your energy use to before 3 p.m. or after 7 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Electric power is playing a bigger and bigger role in our lives. From the cars we drive to the electric appliances and devices we power around the clock, customers expect more and are using more energy. Time of Day keeps the grid balanced while helping you save through more control and more choice.

Starting in March 2023, those customers on our D1 standard residential electric base rate will move to the new Time of Day rates and you will see this change in your billing cycle. If you are on this rate, your plan will change to Time of Day in March as our new standard rate.

By shifting your energy use to before 3 p.m. or after 7 p.m. you can manage your bill. Get a programmable thermostat and pre-cool your home before 3 p.m., start a load of laundry after 7 p.m. or run your dishwasher as you leave the house in the morning.

We'll be sending you a welcome kit in the mail with more information about the rate change before you are converted in 2023.
