With Time of Day Pricing, you can reduce your business’ energy costs by using as much of your electricity as possible during lower-priced time periods.
Electricity costs fluctuate every hour of the day. During the work week, especially on hot summer days and dark winter evenings, our costs are higher due to high demand. On nights and weekends, demand for electricity goes down and so does our cost. The Time of Day pricing plan lets you gain an advantage by using energy during the lower-cost time periods.
