Time of Use (TOU) is a rate that has on and off peak time periods, with the on peak being at a higher rate and the off peak a lower one. The purpose of the on and off peak periods is to benefit customers who shift their energy consumption during periods when electricity is at a lower demand (off peak hours).

Our on peak hours are from 2:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. (Monday-Friday) and the off peak period is all other hours and all day on weekends. The rate fluctuates dependent on the time of year and is broken into three seasonal blocks: Winter (November-April), Summer (May, June, September, and October), and Super Summer (July & August).

You can save on TOU by taking advantage of the off peak hours when the rates are lower. Tasks such as running the dishwasher, laundry, and the pool pump, which use more energy, can be done during off peak hours to emphasize the savings. Heating and cooling also account for a lot of usage and installing a smart thermostat helps you set the thermostat to operate at a higher temperature during the day.

Distributed Generation - Including Solar customers are not eligible at this time for Time of Use (Coming Soon!).
