Save More with Your Time-of-Use Plan
With a Time-Of-Use (TOU) plan, you can take advantage of lower rates during certain times or days. That means if you can follow a few easy guidelines, you can reduce your expenses, save energy, and even help the environment.
How do TOU plans work?
In a TOU plan, electricity prices go up during the times that demand for energy is the highest.
3 Simple Steps to Increase Your Savings:
Step 1: Get on the Right Plan
Different households have different daily routines. That’s why the first thing you should do is pick a plan that offers the best value for your lifestyle.
The Rate Plan Comparison Tool can help. It uses your past usage data to estimate your costs for other plans.
Step 2: Shift Your Usage
If prices at the grocery store changed based on the time of day, you would probably go shopping when items are the cheapest. Think of a TOU plan the same way––by changing the times you run appliances and adjusting your heating/cooling system, you can enjoy lower rates.
