All other times (off-peak)
Pricing
Energy charge — Energy is priced per kilowatt-hour (kWh) and your monthly energy charge is based on the amount of energy used at on-, off- and super off-peak times during your billing cycle. Super off-peak times — 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. every day — offer the lowest prices.
Monthly service charge (MSC) — Your MSC helps cover the costs of customer service, billing and your connection to the grid.
Tier 1
If you’re in an apartment, condominium or townhome, your MSC will likely be $20.
Tier 2
If you’re in an average single-family home, your MSC will likely be $30.
Tier 3
If you’re in a larger-than-average single-family home with high power usage (i.e., you have multiple pool pumps, EV charging stations and/or multiple AC units), your MSC will likely be $40.
Demand charge — The demand charge is based on 60-minute intervals during on-peak hours when your home uses the most electricity and that electricity is most expensive.
How to save money on this price plan
To see the most savings on this plan, you’ll want to shift as much of your energy use as possible to super off-peak hours. Also, try to limit your energy use during on-peak times when higher charges apply.

Air conditioning To maximize comfort and savings, we recommend you precool your home for two off-peak hours (from 3–5 p.m.) by setting your thermostat 3 degrees cooler than your typical setting. During on-peak hours (5–10 p.m.), adjust your thermostat 2-3 degrees hotter than your typical setting. During super off-peak periods (8 a.m. to 3 p.m.), you can set your thermostat to whatever temperature you are comfortable with. |
 |
Electric Vehicles To maximize your savings, charge your electric vehicle(s) during super off-peak periods. If you need to charge your vehicle outside of super off-peak periods, try to avoid on-peak times. |
 |
Other appliances Shift as much of your energy use to super off-peak and off-peak periods. To maximize your savings, appliances that use more energy should be shifted to super off-peak periods, including: washing machine and dryer, pool or spa and dishwasher. |
