Time-of-Use plans offer incentives for using less energy during times of peak demand. Many customers can save money on these plans by making a few small changes to when and how they use energy on weekdays:
Time-of-Use 4 p.m.- 7 p.m. Weekdays – Customers pay lower rates than the Fixed Energy Plan during most of the day, except during on-peak hours, which are 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. on weekdays. By using less energy during these hours, customers can save money.

Time-of-Use 4 p.m.-7 p.m. Weekdays with Demand Charge – This plan offers the lowest energy rates of these choices. To save, customers must limit their energy use and demand during on-peak hours, which are 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. on weekdays, and receive even lower Super Off-Peak rates from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. weekdays (excluding off-peak holidays) on their November through April bills. Customers can do this by shifting their energy use to off-peak hours, and by running one appliance at a time during on-peak hours.
