Time-of-Use Rates

Timing is everything. Learn how much you could save on our special, time-of-use rate.

Under our time-of-use rate, you’ll pay less during off-peak periods than you would under our standard small commercial or residential rates, and more during peak and summer super-peak times. See our time-of-use rate guides to learn how much you and your business can save if you limit energy use during peak and super-peak periods.

Super-peak Pricing

Electricity supply is an additional cost. Summer super-peak pricing is in effect from June through September on weekdays between 2 and 6 p.m. Super-peak charges are significantly higher than supply charges during the rest of the day. Save by opting to power down during super-peak periods.

Super-peak pricing does not apply to customers who purchase their electricity supply from energy service companies. Estimate your supply and delivery charges with our market-supply charge calculator.

Residential Time-of-use Terms
