What is demand?
Time-of-Use 4pm-7pm Weekdays with Demand Charge plan has a monthly demand charge. This charge is based on your highest hour of energy used during on-peak hours, 4pm-7pm weekdays, each billing month. To manage your demand charge, spread (or stagger) your usage, when possible, across the hours of 4pm-7pm weekdays. If you are running AC, doing laundry, running the pool pump and using the oven all between 5pm–6pm on a Tuesday (for example), that’s going to set a high demand. To keep demand low, don’t do all those in the same hour. Better yet, if you can, do them before 4pm and after 7pm.

The demand limiter can be applied to your account one time in the summer months from May to October and you have up to three demand limiters in a calendar year.

Demand Charge Credit
When a demand charge feels higher than usual, we can help. We can provide a demand charge credit once during any 12-month period. The credit is calculated based on the difference between the current kW and the kW from the same billing period last year. For example, if the current billed demand is 11 kW and the same billing period last year was 6 kW, an adjustment would be made to credit you for the difference in demand. If billing history is not available, the demand kW will be reduced by 50%. This credit will appear on your next bill as “Demand Charge Credit.” To discuss or request a demand charge credit, please call us at (602) 371-7171 (metro Phoenix) or (800) 253-9405 (other areas).
