With TOD pricing, the cost of electricity depends on when you use it. Prices are lower most of the time, and higher during short, on-peak periods when demand is highest.
Off-peak prices are about 70% less than on-peak prices. Most households already use about 80% of their electricity during off-peak times. Save money by shifting your electric use to the lower-priced, off-peak hours or by reducing your overall use.
Each weekday includes 19-20 off-peak hours, varying by season, with all weekend and holiday hours also considered off-peak.

TOD pricing reflects the true cost of producing electricity. Power is more expensive when demand is high. Shifting energy use to off-peak times helps keep costs lower for everyone and supports a more reliable, sustainable grid.
You have more control over your bill with TOD. Try shifting big energy users (like heating, cooling, laundry, and dishwashing) outside of on-peak hours.

TOD pricing reflects the true cost of producing electricity. Power costs more when demand is high, like weekday evenings in winter or afternoons in summer. By shifting use to off-peak hours, customers can lower bills and help reduce overall system costs, which benefits the whole community.
Utilities studied 10 years of local electricity use to identify when demand was highest. On-peak windows were kept as short as possible so customers would have flexibility to shift their use and take advantage of lower off-peak prices.
No. As a community-owned, cost-of-service utility, we are not allowed to profit. TOD was designed to collect the same annual revenue as the old system. In fact, many customers paid less after switching to TOD.
Cost-of-service is simply what it takes to generate and deliver reliable electricity. That includes power purchases, transmission, infrastructure (like cables, transformers, and substations), and daily operations. Utilities only recovers these costs, no profit is added.
