LD-2-B Time-of-Use Service Rate

  • The time-of-use (TOU) rate gives you the advantage of lower electric rates during the night and early morning hours, weekends, and the winter months.
  • The highest rate time-period (peak period) is 8:00 AM through 7:59 PM Mondays through Fridays.
  • The high-season rate is used for meters read monthly during the months of July through October. The low-season rate is used for meters read monthly during the months of November through June.
  • This rate option may require a meter change. There will be no GWP charge for the installation of the new meter. However, if the electric panel for your service does not accommodate a socket meter, you will need to hire an electrician to upgrade the panel. Our Electric Meter Shop personnel will be able to evaluate this for you.

How do you know if you should consider TOU rates?

If you can arrange your electric usage patterns in such a way that a majority of your electric usage occurs during the lower rate, BASE period hours, or if your present usage pattern is structured in that manner, then this rate could be the appropriate choice for you.
