SRP Business Time-of-Use Price Plan (TOU)

SRP's business TOU price plan is designed for businesses that are able to take advantage of lower electricity prices in shoulder and off-peak periods. See how watching the clock could help your company maximize its energy savings.

    How it works

    On the business TOU (E-32) price plan, electricity is priced at three different levels depending on the time of day — on-peak, shoulder and off-peak pricing periods.

    The key to saving money on this plan is to limit usage during the higher-priced on-peak hours and instead shift usage to lower-priced off-peak and shoulder hours.

    If you’re already doing this, switching to this SRP commercial price plan could maximize your energy savings.

    Pricing

Prices during the summer season, which includes the May, June, September and October billing cycles, are 7.05 cents per kilowatt hour during off-peak times, which are 11 p.m. to 11 a.m., 11.41 cents per kilowatt hour during shoulder weekdays times, which are 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. to 11 p.m., and 15.33 cents per kilowatt hour during on-peak weekdays times, which are 2 p.m. to 7 p.m. During the summer peak season, which includes the July and August billing cycles, prices are 7.16 cents per kilowatt hour during off-peak times, which are 11 p.m. to 11 a.m., 12.21 cents per kilowatt hour during shoulder weekdays times, which are 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. to 11 p.m., and 17.46 cents per kilowatt hour during on-peak weekdays times, which are 2 p.m. to 7 p.m. During the winter season, which includes the November through April billing cycles, prices are 6.82 cents per kilowatt hour during off-peak times, which are 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., 11.39 cents per kilowatt hour during shoulder weekdays times, which are 5 p.m. to 9 p.m., and 12.04 cents per kilowatt hour during on-peak weekdays times, which are 5 a.m. to 9 a.m.

    In addition to per-kilowatt-hour charges, you will also see demand charges and a service charge on your bill. 

    Here’s a breakdown of the charges per season:

    • Summer on-peak demand charge: $5.29
    • Summer peak on-peak demand charge: $6.99
    • Winter on-peak demand charge: $4.69
    • Summer, summer-peak and winter maximum of shoulder and off-peak demand charge: $1.05
    • Monthly service charge: $22.72 plus meter charge (CT/PT $16.88 or demand $6.11)
    • All weekend hours are considered off-peak.

    One thing to note: The demand charge applies to all kW greater than 5 kW of maximum demand measured during on-peak hours and the maximum demand measured during shoulder and off-peak hours.

    If your first three bills on business TOU aren't lower than what you would have paid on the General Service Price Plan, contact us and we'll credit you the difference and switch you back.

    How is this plan different from the General Service Price Plan?

    The biggest difference is that the TOU plan is designed for businesses who can be more flexible in their operating hours vs. the General Service plan that encourages stability in energy use.

    How to save the most with TOU

    • Monday–Friday (8 a.m.–5 p.m.)
    • Earlier in the summer
    • Later in the winter (after 9 a.m.)
