Could PowerShift end up costing me more every month?
Although you may see a slight increase in your summer electric bills under the Time-of-Use rate, the savings you gain during the seven months of October through April will help you lower your annual electric costs. The time-of-use rate is offered as an incentive to shift your electric use from peak to off-peak hours particularly during the summer. Being on the time-of-use rate will require you to make adjustments in your daily routine. If you don’t change your energy usage patterns, you could pay more or your may come out about even on this rate. So, it’s up to you to shift your electricity usage to the less expensive off-peak hours, especially for large appliances like dishwashers, air conditioners, electric heating systems, electric ovens or clothes dryers.
