How will the peak charge be calculated?

  • For each summer month, the peak charge of $6 per kW will be calculated by examining the member’s hourly usage between 3 and 8 p.m. on Peak Days.
    • Whichever one-hour increment has the highest usage will be used to calculate the peak charge.
    • For example, if a consumer-member’s hour of highest usage is 10 kW from 4 to 5 p.m. on July 29, their peak charge for July would be $60 (10 kW × $6).
  • Members can save money on their bills by spreading out their usage between 3 and 8 p.m. on Peak Days and avoiding using too many appliances at the same time.
