Residential and small business customers can choose between a Time-of-Use (TOU) or Tiered pricing structure as of November 1, 2020.
With TOU the day is divided into 3 price periods: off-peak, mid-peak, and on-peak, and the price you pay depends on when you use electricity. With Tiered prices, you can use a certain amount of electricity each month at a lower price. Once that limit is exceeded, a higher price applies.
For customers already on TOU who wish to continue being billed with the TOU pricing no action is required.
