Time-of-Use sample rates differential
Avoid electricity-heavy activities during the hours of 4pm - 9pm.
Summer Time-of-Use (TOU) rates will go into effect on June 1. You could see more expensive energy bills if you’re using electricity during peak hours (4pm-9pm).
We recommend trying to run your dishwasher, vacuum, and do laundry and other electricity-intensive tasks during off-peak hours to help lower your bills.
