Time of Use 101
The Time of Use 101 module educates customers about when electricity is most expensive based on their time of use rate plan. The module provides customers with information such as whether electricity prices differ on weekdays and weekends, how much more expensive peak prices are than off-peak prices, the hours during which electricity is most expensive, and a visual time line displaying off-peak, partial-peak, and peak hours.
